Episode 337: Change the Angle, Change the Lesson

This episode explores how shifting between perspectives reveals critical blind spots in your horsemanship. To illustrate this Stacy shares a ‘backward’ look at a common problems: a horse that spooks. When you commit to looking from each of these angles, you are more likely to get the full picture, transforming how you interpret and address training situations.

Key takeaways:

• Discover how alternating between perspectives exposes patterns you miss when fixed in one viewpoint
• Explore how the same situation (like a spook) transforms completely when analyzed from each of the four angles
• Learn why your interpretation of events is heavily filtered by which perspective you habitually default to

This episode demonstrates the transformative power of intentionally changing viewpoints to solve persistent riding challenges. By using spooking behavior as a practical example, riders will gain a framework for applying this four-perspective approach to any training situation, allowing them to break through plateaus and develop deeper understanding of the horse-human partnership.
