What does good horsemanship really look like? Geoff Teall reminds us that it’s not about polished braids, endless drilling, or micromanaging every detail. Horses don’t care about appearances. They care about comfort, clarity, and fairness. Turnout, room to move, friends to socialize with, and purposeful work balanced with downtime all make for healthier, happier athletes. Downtime isn’t wasted time. It’s part of the process that builds longevity, willingness, and stronger partnerships in and out of the show ring. #Horsemanship #HunterJumper #EquestrianLife #ThePlaidHorse
