Play with your horse and build a positive relationship with training tools

Emotional agility is an important pillar in the holistic horse handling methodoloy, and two of the ways to help our horses continue to develop emotional agility skills is offering choice in work and playing games.

In this video we are using one of our emotional agility skills from our holistic horse handling program and offering choice to our horses in work. This is a fun game where we get to know our horses better through their preferences.

We can also use it to reshape their experience to training especially if they have experienced abuse or trauma and create a positive association to their training tools, and further expand their emotional skillset to build trust, faith and confidence.
