Problem Horse Series: My horse spooks at EVERYTHING!!!

Join us on our problem horse series where we share with you all things holistic horse handling. In todays episode we are covering the horse that spooks at everything!!

I'm going to show you how we work through Phoenix’s (the horse) spooky behaviours in response to Ella (the pig).

Yes, these spooks don't look like much - but that is because we believe in creating psychological safety for our horses and not working them at, close to or over threshold. This also means we prefer to have the skills the horse needs to engage in the training exercises and stay under threshold established before we do the training session. It also means we listen to the horse to tell us when they are emotionally stretched so that we can stop on a positive note feeling like we could've done more.
