Read on for a brief history of the evolution of the lip chain, safety lead, and lip cord, as well as an explanation about the purpose and intent of these devices. Then, we’ll address some misconceptions about the lip chain and common mistakes people make when using them.

🌟 Episode 046 | The Trainer-Client Relationship 🌟

In this episode, we explore one of the most important yet often overlooked aspects of success in the halter industry—the trainer-client relationship. This isn’t just any trainer-client dynamic. We get to hear about the unique bond between a professional trainer and a family team—a husband, wife, and their daughter—who are all deeply invested.

How does a trainer juggle the different personalities, goals, and expectations of an entire family? What challenges arise when family members work together? And how does a trainer not just fit the horses, but also guide and mentor clients of all ages and experience levels to bring out their best in the show ring?

Kim Clark, of Fitting Edge Halter Horses, along with her clients, Keith Witter, Missy Witter, and their daughter, Jody share their experiences, challenges, and the moments that make it all worth it.
