The Whole Horse Podcast | Episode 129 | Unmasking sensitivity to be better (horse) people with Lori Halliday

This conversation with the wise and wonderful Lori Halliday certainly touched into some tender places!

Lori offered her perspective on the fall from grace of a notable rider this past summer, which led us into a powerful discussion on the personal responsibility we all hold to be accountable for our history and allow it to inform our present-day actions. She shined a light on how trusting our intuition and exposing our sensitivities is how we get the good work done, while being mindful to remember the importance of not sacrificing our health in the process. 

Tune in for another fantastic episode that explores the relationship between horses, ourselves and the world around us, and the ways in which we have the ability to make positive change.
