November Audio CD
"Really Listening"
In this interview with Neil Pye, Linda talks about the importance of remaining calm and composed during moments of frustration, and how the phrasing of a question can make all the difference. She also discusses the responsibility of instructors and teachers to encourage open dialogue. Later, Linda stresses the fact that both horses and humans can bring emotional baggage to the table, as well as the importance of recognizing thresholds and not becoming stuck. She also describes her experiences in learning with Walter Zettl. Finally, Linda addresses the difficulty people encounter with the bit, which can often be explained by a lack of true communication between horse and human.
