EP102: Active Neutral

EP102: Active Neutral

This episode is about one of the most important concepts in riding: Active Neutral. Active Neutral is where we embody, confirm, and allow that which we asked our horse to perform. It is a mental, emotional, and physical state where we want for nothing else. Most of the ‘magical moments’ we have with our horses are when we are in a state of Active Neutral.
