Bringing a new horse home is exciting, but it’s also a massive transition—for both of you. This episode discusses what a horse goes through when they get a new home. It talks about unhealthy expectations and how we can let those go. From herd dynamics to trust-building, we go over how to make the transition as smooth as possible.

When a horse enters a new environment they face challenges. New owners often forget what the horse is going through in their excitement. We talk about why immediate riding isn’t always the best idea, and how to recognize how well your horse is adjusting.

This episode is packed with practical tips on diet transitions, biosecurity, and how to introduce a new horse to a herd safely. Whether you’re bringing home your first horse or your tenth, this conversation will help you set up for success. Hit play now so you can create a better experience for both you and your new horse.
