Listen Later

Are you unintentionally causing your horse stress without even realizing it?

Many riders and horse owners assume that a horse's behavior is purely a reaction to external stimuli or its environment. But could it be that your horse's posture, emotional state, or past trauma is causing these issues instead?

The truth is, a horse's physical and emotional well-being is closely connected to its posture and nervous system state. Understanding this connection can transform how you interact with and train your horse, fostering a healthier relationship.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL LEARN:

  • How physical and emotional stress affects a horse's behavior.

  • The signs that indicate whether a horse is hypervigilant or shut down.

  • Techniques to help your horse maintain a neutral, relaxed posture.

  • Why developing a clear, respectful communication strategy is key to a successful horse-human relationship.

  • Join us as we dive deep into these insights with our special guest, Dr. Karen Gellmen, who will share their expertise and experience in understanding horse behavior and fostering healthier horse-human connections.

    To truly connect with your horse, it’s essential to understand their unique needs and emotions – this episode will help you do just that.
