Equilogical Podcast

The last in the series before we take a break until the New Year. In this weeks podcast we talk about the importance of being present during our training and why we owe it to our horses to be mindful when we are with them.

We can try as hard as we like to control the environment in our training session but we cannot control everything. Being present allows us to tap into what is happening in that moment and pick up on the smallest of changes that may affect our horse.

Kate discusses equine therapy work and gives some top tips quick exercises on how to bring yourself into the present moment.

Another bonus episode! No Kate today as she’s busy planning exciting stuff, so Becky chats to her friend and fellow Physio: Harriet Kitcat from Physio My Dog. Sat in a field sharing a picnic surrounded by cows we discuss what a routine physio or bodywork session looks like. How every animal and client is individual and how treatment and treatment plans follow the individual too. How we as therapists love our work. We both train and learn together often and have great fun discussing ways we can get creative with our work. Harriet also has a podcast: It’s Not Just One Thing that focuses on all aspects with our Canine family, it’s well worth a listen.

In today’s podcast we discuss the power of giving a pause. It’s something both Kate and Becky have been introducing to our training with the horses. Becky uses the pause in a slightly different way when training Squawk her rescue African Grey as he is bonded to her husband and when the daylight changes this can offer hormone challenges. The passive pause is used with the horses at the beginning of the training session and in between each separate behaviour being trained (unless you are chaining ). The passive pause has been so valuable for creating calmness in the training and some valuable processing time for both human learner and horse learner. We have introduced it successfully with Rum, and Kate has been introducing the passive pause successfully with the Conquest Horses, videos of this training can be found on our Patreon members page: Little Green Stables. We recorded this podcast before our interview with the fantastic Trudi Dempsey, and decided to publish after our podcast with Trudi went out, so please bare in mind the time lag.

In this podcast we talk about the benefits of targeting with a moving target or a stationary one. We have touched on targets many times before and how they can help with our training, aid focus in tricky situations and be useful when we are having to do veterinary procedures. But the target can be used badly and cause frustration, and when is the right time to fade the target...? If you are enjoying our podcast please share, like and subscribe.
