Helping the Dangerous, Fearful, Reactive, or Uncatchable Horses
Here's a quick glimpse into just a few of the horses who arrived for help this summer...
It isn't about making the horse tolerate the human but instead helping them learn to trust and willingly offer to participate.
Most equine rehabilitation or re-education scenarios I have are a result of ego-based human "training" attempts of "making" the horse comply. More often than not, this approach results in unwanted and dangerous scenarios for both the horse and the human.
Everything starts with the Quality of how the horse offers to be caught. If it begins with chasing, aggressive human behavior, or the horse having to mentally shut down to tolerate the person, what will the rest of the session look like?
