Josh Nichol

 




 
I know, I know, I promised no more rainbow chasing and to stick with one program.  Then my farm became a frozen tundra for months.  I was pretty much limited to ground work and the occasional ride in my teeny tiny indoor in very cold weather.  I don’t remember how, but I came across a NOËLLE FLOYD PODCAST with Josh Nichol and I was intrigued.  So far, I’ve done the 7 day free trial with Noelle Floyd’s JN content and I’m currently subscribed to Joshnichol.com’s MASTERCLASS.


I finally have an answer for why Cruise won’t willingly go forward, why Jet has completely different challenges, and why neither horse seems to trust my leadership.  Relational Horsemanship feels really familiar to me after the TRT Method, Dressage Naturally, Warwick Schiller, and Patrick King BUT with some huge differences and a methodology that really clarifies things for me.


Cruise is willingly going forward in hand and under saddle.  He is finally out of my space.  I’m finding it much easier to get his mind back with me.  His balance in hand and under saddle is much improved.  Bliss.


I think I’ll do a few posts with YouTube links soon to share the magic!

  1. He came to our province a couple years ago. I didn’t get to see him, something I regret. I’m excited to hear about the issue with Cruz being solved!

  2. I know there's value in sticking to one thing - but also you're more than educated enough to chase those rainbows and pick out the good stuff you can use <3
    And, selfishly, I quite enjoy reading and looking into all the ideas and topics you cover.

    1. TY for your lovely comment. Sometimes I feel like a flake but all these avenues have led to a big breakthrough. Now it's just in the execution ❤️
