When our horses come to us they are often scared, beaten, shut down empty shells or they could be hiding pain and working like a robot.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Each case is very different and you can read about some of the specific cases on “meet the horses” but what we do for every case is strip them back to the basics and try to restart their training again. Maybe they have fears they need to forget or just learn they have a choice now, whatever the reason, we do it in the same way and start from the ground.<\/p>

We want each of our horses to build a relationship with us and learn to trust humans. The best bonds and riding partners come from happiness and mutual respect and this is exactly what we achieve through positive reinforcement techniques. This can be a very long slow process and some horses respond much quicker than others, but with time and patience we will get there with each one. I have attached a link to a great description of positive reinforcement training which you can reach by clicking on the picture right.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
