Consent, Touch, and Trust: What Horses Really Need From Us for Connection

Consent, Touch, and Trust: What Horses Really Need From Us for Connection

Have you ever touched your horse with love… but realized it wasn’t truly invited?

In this heart-opening episode, we explore how often we override our horse’s ability to say yes or no — and why that matters more than most people realize. Corina shares how one mare, Tequila, taught her the true meaning of consent through subtle signals, silence, and softness.

✨ You’ll learn:

  • Why connection isn’t something we impose — it’s something we’re invited into

  • What human and horse consent looks like in real-time

  • How to recognize the small signals that say “not yet” — and why honoring them deepens trust

  • Why presence, not pressure, builds the kind of partnership you dream of

Plus: an invitation to pause, breathe, and offer touch only when it’s welcome — turning contact into a bridge, not a barrier.

🌿 If you’ve ever wondered how to build deeper trust through liberty and intuitive horsemanship, this episode is for you.
