The Willing Equine

Episode 72 // Can R+ Be Used With Aggressive, Dangerous, & Explosive Horses?


Listen Later

Remember my social media post where I asked you all what *couldn't* be trained with R+? Thank you to everyone who commented, sharing their take on behaviors that they believed would not lend themselves well to an R+ based approach. I decided to go through the comments on my podcast, diving into some myth busting and explaining how I might go about teaching the behaviors mentioned with R+. The answers might surprise you!


In this episode (part two of this series), I dive into how you can safely implement R+ with:

  • Aggressive horses
  • Horses with severe food anxiety
  • Foals/young horses
  • Horses who display dangerous/explosive behavior (bucking, rearing, bolting, etc.)
  • And more!

    Be sure to stay tuned for part 3 of this series! And if you missed part 1, be sure to head over and give it a listen here.
