The Mind of a Horse Part I - From Fear to Trust

fear mind anxiety
This video also includes Part II - Herd and Environment. When a horse does something unexpected, out of character or reacts in an undesired way, we look for the reasons why. A struggle presents itself because knowledge of a horses's mind is something that is not taught. This leads to myths and opinions that are based on how people think, not horses. In this series, we go on an exploration of how the horse truly thinks, perceives their environment, leadership, fear and much more. When you have a solid understanding of the psyche of the horse, you'll not only have a solid understanding of why horses do what they do, but how to help your horse through struggles. In doing so, you'll earn their trust and build a deep connection.

The Mind of a Horse Part III - Unlearning

unlearning restarting mind
Sometimes horses learn or are taught behaviors or movements that we do not desire, and we need to help them out. Sometimes we refer to this as 'restarting'. Other times a horse may struggle with changing what they've already learned. This might be a school horse who now has to follow a rider instead of the same repetitive cues in an arena. It might be a horse from a discipline that asks them to use their body in a detrimental way cued by the rein. There are horses that have been punished for their actions and now expect to be reprimanded when they get scared or anxious. Then again there are older working horses that can work a cow like nothing else, but have no idea how to relate to a human being and are out of place in a new home and a new job. Some horses have some time under their belt and are in a new home with new owners. They're being asked something different than what they've done for years. Learn how to help a horse 'unlearn' and progress to a great athletic relationship.
