Equine Behavior Lecture Part II
Non-Associative Learning Deep Dive
Join us for the second session in our four-part series on equine behavior! This session dives deeper into non-associative learning—that is, what shapes a horse’s emotional response to the world around them! We’ll begin with a short lecture on the foundational research and theory. Then, discussion topics will explore some of the landscape of emotional responses (from fear to excitement and everything in between) and offer practical strategies for when and how to manage them .
To bring these ideas to life, we’ll host a hands-on workshop with our generous equine partners, working through case scenarios together. This session is best suited for participants who have attended the introductory lecture or already have a strong foundation in animal behavior.
