Horse behavior and body language: He emphasizes understanding horse behavior, body language and, emotional states to build a deeper connection and improve communication.
Holistic approach: He considers the physical, emotional and mental well-being of the horse, aiming to create a balanced and confident equine partner by stressing the importance of understanding anatomy and biomechanics.
Rider self-awareness and development: He encourages riders to cultivate self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and physical awareness to improve their horsemanship skills.
