Equilogical Podcast

In this episode we look at separation anxiety. It isn’t widely recognised in the mainstream equine world, and if it is, it is largely ignored and this can lead to heighten stress, unwanted behaviour and potential medical issues. What can we do to help our horse that has separation anxiety? If it’s the horse with separation anxiety leaving the yard or field or the horse being left behind, we look at ways to help. How can we help the horse at a livery yard cope with separation anxiety and top tips for separation anxiety at shows and new places. If you are enjoying our episodes please share, like and subscribe. We would love to hear from you and are happy to look at a topic of your choice to cover in one of our podcasts.

In this weeks episode we discuss Protected Contact and how useful it is for all of us. Often we think of protected contact as needed for horses that are considered unsafe, dangerous, untouched or with a severe abuse history and yes, protected contact can help in these situations. But we also look at other ways protected contact can be used and how successful it can be with every day training. We are joined by Becky’s rescue Parrots for this episode so you may hear them in the background.

In today’s podcast we discuss the importance of rewards, random rewards, when to jackpot and how as humans we can create patterns in our training without realising, the animals are more advanced than us and pick up on these patterns before we even notice we are making them.

In this podcast we talk about you and your horse as an individual. How important it is to celebrate where you are, how far you’ve come and that you cannot compare your journey with others. The equine world can be quite judgemental and remembering that the journey involves you and your horse whatever the progress and embracing the pace that you are in and achieving together.
