Confusion isnāt failureāitās a signal that your brain (or your animalās) is learning something new. In this episode, Mary Debono shares how embracing confusion can improve your movement, mindset, and connection with your horse or dog.
Key Takeaways
Confusion is a natural and valuable part of the learning process.Your nervous systemāand your animalāsāneeds time and space to process new information.Novelty and variation disrupt habitual patterns, leading to more efficient movement.Asking āHow can this feel easier?ā can guide you through confusion with grace.The key is not to fix but to supportāwhether itās your dog, your horse, or yourself.Allowing for confusion builds patience, compassion, and a deeper connection.Resources:

Would you like to use your imagination to deepen your connection with your horse or dog? In this episode, youāll learn how to use your imagination to not only deepen your connection with your horse or dog but also increase the effectiveness of bodywork and training sessions.
Key Takeaways:
Your brain doesn't strongly distinguish between vivid imagination and physical experienceā"what you imagine, you embody."Visualizing a connection of light with your animal creates real physiological changes in your body that your animal can detect.Animals constantly read the world through somatic and energetic cues, sensing your tension, intention, and inner state.This practice creates a "connection loop"āa feedback cycle where your shifts cause your animal to respond, deepening the bond.Intentionally sending loving energy increases heart coherence, which science shows can influence those nearby.This approach helps bring love back to the center when worry, fear or expectations might be pushing it aside.The visualization "turbocharges" hands-on work like Debono Moves, creating a synergistic effect.Even just one minute of this practice can reduce your stress and invite new possibilities for both you and your animal.Resources:

Many riders try to fix their horseās movement challengesāstiffness, bending issues, or unevennessāby stretching, using stronger aids, or forcing a certain posture. But what if the real key to improvement isnāt about control at all?

Mary Debono addresses a common challenge faced by many horse owners: the herd-bound horse. Rather than using punitive methods that cause more fear, Mary shares innovative, humane, and effective ways to help horses feel secure when separated from their herd.
She emphasizes the importance of recognizing this natural behavior and working with it rather than against it.
The episode introduces several powerful practices:
Connected Breathing: A foundational practice where you place your hands on your horse's ribcage and sense their breathing, creating a tactile conversation that promotes relaxation and deep connection.Heart-Centered Appreciation: Mary explains how focusing on feelings of love and gratitude for your horse can change your physiological state in ways your horse can detect, creating a calming effect.Rhythm Circles: A specific hands-on process that provides support and relief to the horse's soft tissues, deepening the sense of connection and safety.The episode also addresses the rider's confidence, emphasizing that your emotional state significantly impacts your horse. Mary recommends her Feldenkraisā-based "Effortless Balanced Sitting Series" to help riders feel more secure in the saddle.
Whether you have a herd-bound horse or a dog with anxiety (which will be covered in the next episode), these practices offer a compassionate, effective approach to building confidence and a deeper bond with your animal companion.

What if the key to helping your horse or dog move with ease wasnāt about āfixingā them but connecting with them?
In this episode, I challenge the idea of correction-based approaches and explain why true change happens through mindful support, not force.

Youāll also hear the inspiring story of Zoey, a dog who wouldnāt use her surgically repaired leg despite all traditional rehab efforts. The breakthrough? A simple yet profound shift in connection that helped her nervous system feel safe enough to change.
