Equine Behavior Lecture Part II
Fundamentals of Equine Behavior
Equine training can be broken down into two basic types of learning: associative and non-associative learning. Although this is a different way to talk about how to train, many traditional horse training methods actually utilize these principles, so many experienced riders will understand some parts of learning theory instinctively!
In part two of our four-part series on equine behavior, we will talk about the drivers and origins of horse behavior and the 7 key ways that behaviors change, and how to harness them in your every day care. Take the opportunity to make the science work for you and your horse!
