This video will teach you the foundational principles of backing — one of the most important exercises in developing a respectful, connected, and responsive horse.

Backing is more than just moving your horse in reverse — it’s the beginning of clear communication, control, and connection in your relationship.

To build the relationship you’ve always dreamed of with your horse, focus on these three key principles:

1. Relaxation – A relaxed horse uses the thinking side of the brain and is less likely to get reactive or fearful.
2. Respect – Respect must go both ways and be earned through consistent, calm leadership. Without it, the relationship can’t thrive.
3. Responsiveness – A responsive horse is tuned in to you—mentally, emotionally, and physically—ready to follow your direction with willingness and softness.

A great partnership is built on a few essential qualities:

• Trust

• Connection

• Empathy

• Competence

• Confidence

• Leadership

When you focus on backing with clarity and purpose, you’ll help your horse become more respectful, confident, and relaxed—and you’ll both feel...

✨ Happy, Safe, and Connected! ✨

Rebuild trust and ride with confidence again.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected, nervous, or unsure after time away from your horse — you’re not alone. Life happens. But getting back to feeling safe, confident, and connected with your horse is closer than you think.

Between work, family, and all the chaos of life, it’s easy for our time with our horses to slip away.
And when it does, both we and our horses start to feel the gap.

Your horse might:

• Get out of shape
• Become fresh, spooky, or reactive
• Lose focus and connection
• Forget respect and responsiveness

And you might find yourself wondering:

• Will I be safe when I get back on?
• Does my horse still trust me?
• Am I ready to start riding again?
• Will my horse even want to be ridden?

You’re not alone — and the good news is, there’s a clear path forward.

That’s why we created The Empowered Horsewoman Program — the complete roadmap to rebuilding confidence, safety, and partnership with your horse, no matter how long it’s been.

Inside this program, you’ll rediscover your rhythm with your horse through:

• Proven groundwork and riding exercises that build trust and connection
• Step-by-step guidance to help your horse become calm, responsive, and respectful

• Tools to transform fear and uncertainty into clarity and joy

• Safe — knowing your horse is prepared and attentive
