Hear Your Horse: With Kristi Newman
Welcome to Hear Your Horse with Kristi Newman.
What if the partnership you have always wanted with your horse is closer than you think? What if the resistance, the inconsistency, and the feeling that something is just not quite clicking — is actually your horse trying to tell you something?
This podcast is for riders who are ready to listen. Each episode explores the principles behind the RITE System — a training approach that layers on top of whatever method you already use and adds the one thing most riders are missing. A clear, precise way to tell your horse they got it right.
When the communication is clear, everything changes. The resistance softens. The partnership deepens. The rides you always imagined become the rides you actually have.
You are in the right place. Welcome.
