In this conversation, Tim and Ginny discuss recent experiences at The Mustang Summit in Grand Junction Colorado, along with the insights gained from the event. They explain the concept of emotional regulation and training principles in horsemanship as Tim served as one of the Mustangers, working with a Palomino yearling who would be adopted at the end of then BLM sponsored event. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the internal emotional states of both horses and humans, drawing connections to attachment theory and somatic practices.
