Have you ever tried natural horsemanship? The name is a bit of a misnomer; is anything natural about horses and humans interacting and becoming partners? It’s debatable. However, misleading name aside, natural horsemanship can really help to build your partnership with your horse.
If - and this is a REALLY giant-sized if - it is done correctly and complements what you are trying to achieve in the saddle.
I personally use natural horsemanship in some shape way or form each and every day when interacting with horses. I can almost bet you are too. This is partly due to there being a fairly large shared area that almost all disciplines and methods of working with horses occupy. Horses are horses after all.
However, I also use specific methods on an almost daily basis which have their roots in natural horsemanship
