Frustration is Natural and Can Be Overcome

0418_04r

Method Ambassador Daniel Coggin knows what it feels like to be frustrated with the lack of progress you’re making with your horse. “Sometimes the greatest challenge with horsemanship is staying motivated to keep working toward your goal when it doesn’t feel like your horse is making much of an improvement. When I started working with horses, I was getting down on myself because my horses didn’t seem to be progressing as quickly as I would have liked. It’s important to realize that each horse is an individual and progresses at their own rate,” Daniel shares.

Daniel is located in Birmingham, Alabama, where he helps horse owners through frustrations they’re dealing with in their horsemanship. Daniel trains horses for the public and teaches lessons and clinics that focus on the Fundamentals level of the Method.
