Show Notes

Is your horse really being difficult—or are you missing what they’re trying to tell you? In this powerful episode, professional trainer Lisa Kay joins Samantha Baer to dive deep into classical in-hand work, emotional fitness for both horse and rider, and the truth about what “foundation” really means. They unpack how posture, pressure, and performance connect, why collection can stir up big emotions, and how to use groundwork to transform your horse’s mindset and movement. Whether you’re a dressage rider, eventer, or just want a better partnership with your horse—this is the conversation you didn’t know you needed.
