Summary
This week Mark looks at some common horse behaviours and asks a simple question: is it okay if…? What if your horse looks around on a trail ride? Doesn’t want to work in a particular arena? Nips during rehabilitation exercises? Or becomes increasingly anxious the further you get from home? Rather than simply trying to stop the behaviour, Mark explains how to look at what the horse is communicating, how comfortable they are with pressure, and what may be happening emotionally underneath the surface. You’ll learn about graded exposure, helping horses become more comfortable with pressure, understanding nervousness through the eyes, and building confidence away from home by creating experiences where the horse can feel safe and successful. A practical episode about looking beyond the behaviour to understand the horse. Want to understand your horse on a deeper level?
