The Mind of a Horse Part III - Unlearning

unlearning  restarting 
metimes horses learn or are taught behaviours or movements that are detrimental to their athleticism or relationship with you.  Others fall into the category: restarting. The odd time we have a horse and rider in our clinics and the horse is struggling.  They're not struggling with what they're being asked to do or what they're learning though.  They're struggling with what they've already learned, when we're asking them to do something different. 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 - but they're cued to a position through 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. These are generally horses that have some time under their belt and are in a new home with new owners.  And 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.

Your New Horse or Colt Part II - Moving Out

In some cases, when riding a colt or restarting a horse, they struggle with moving forward. One reason can be fear or anxiety - and we have many videos that deal with that. In this video we look at horses that might not be frozen in fear, but struggle to move forward. We demonstrate and review many different ways of getting motion without ever resorting to force or predator/prey methods.
