Navigating feedback from the people around us

If you're like most horse people: you didn't start out using positive reinforcement, and most people around you don't use it. There is definitely still significant stigma associated with using positive reinforcement for horses, but don't let that stop you from the amazing journey that you and your horse can embark on. Here are my tips on how I've navigated the various opinions of people around me, including how I've sought out affirming voices - I need positive reinforcement, too! - and how I've dealt with feedback from horse professionals such as vets and farriers.
