Kickstart Your Week: Insightful Interviews, Engaging Discussions, and More!
Hello, Curious Equestrians!
Today, I have something a little different for your Monday read. For those who’ve been with us for a while, you may know that the Curious Equestrian celebrated its first birthday in September. Our Substack newsletter is only a few months old, and I’ve been busy uploading past episodes to ensure our newsletter subscribers have exclusive access to ad-free videos and articles from the Horsemanship Journal archive.
Here's a round-up of new content added to our archive to kickstart your week.
Unlocking Horse Behaviour: Lessons from the Wild to Improve Your Partnership
Imagine being able to read your horse's mind; building a strong bond requires listening to their body language and taking cues from their behaviour. But often, what we think we know about horses is shaped by our human perspectives and the domesticated environments in which we typically interact with them. The path to strong relationships is often blocked by misunderstandings that arise from poor communication. Unfettered by human constraints, wild horses lay bare the underlying mechanics of their societies - alliances forged and broken, a multifaceted communication system, and the fundamental drives that propel them through their daily lives.

Boys Ride Too
I was 12 years old when we bought Bruce. He was a 14.2 Irish Sports pony and just six years of age. At the time, I was part of my local pony club and had been showjumping and eventing with my old pony, Gunner. Bruce came from a dealer, and as far as we knew, he had been show jumping successfully. He was well-behaved at home and did most things asked of him, but something was missing. I don't think I understood that at the time, other than just feeling I wasn't quite good enough for him.
