Caracole de la Roque, piloted by our own NF+ instructor Karl Cook at the Paris Olympics, was just named the USEF International Horse of the Year! Plus, Karl himself was awarded the William C. Steinkraus Trophy in recognition of his contributions to the Olympic team.

A big NF+ round of applause for Karl and Cara!  👏  And if you missed it, we caught up with the Cooks right after their return from Paris — you can read the full conversation on the blog.

Hi Members!

Happy Thursday! Today we are super excited to announce that Josh Nichol's Horsemanship Case Studies Episode 3 has just dropped!

About This Episode:

In the last episode of this series, Josh Nichol works with Lily—a defensive mare whose history of fear and trauma has left her reactive yet emotionally shut down. Her owner, Liz, is left with more than just physical bruises—she’s carrying the heartbreak of not knowing how to help. Josh steps in to guide Liz and Lily, proving that even the most guarded horses are seeking safety and connection.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Understanding Aggression: Decode behaviors like charging and pinned ears to uncover the unmet needs driving defensive responses.

  • Creating Safety Through Space: Replace tension with trust by using clear, intentional spatial communication that speaks to your horse’s needs.

  • Practical Tools: Gain techniques to manage defensive behavior and foster calm, responsive interactions in everyday scenarios.

Whether your horse struggles with aggression, defensiveness, or something more subtle, the lessons from Lily’s transformation will inspire you to see challenges as opportunities to build trust.

Don't miss it! (Oh, and don't forget to let us know what you think by dropping your thoughts into the comments!)
