Hello! I finally have an episode detailing real-life application of a behavior. This week we’re talking about matwork! It’s an incredibly useful behavior to teach and I hope you enjoy this episode and perhaps learn something from it or it inspires you to try something new. It’s starts a little slow, but stick with it! Here’s the episode breakdown:

1. The resources I used

2. Three potential uses for Matwork

3. Introducing the Mat to your Horse

4. Sending to and Staying at the Mat

Throughout the episode I also touch on some troubleshooting such as how to deal with pawing.

I hope you enjoy!
