Update: 2024-01-13
Description
PART ONE: Lynn Acton is an accomplished horse woman and author. While working with a foster pony, Lynn discovered that aligning with her horse’s' natural social order (cooperation) worked far better than the dominance model of interactions. She then wrote a book and founded a method called “Protector Leadership” with helping horses feel safe as the foundation.
In PART ONE you can expect to hear several things including 3 of Lynn’s 7 point checklist for helping horses feel safe. Stay tuned for the next episode to hear part two.
Expect to hear:
- List of characteristics to help horses feel safe: (1) Human Body Language (2) Watching for Equine Emotions (3) Using ‘Learning Modes’ to engage desired response.
- Social leadership, herd dynamics and why who you THINK might be the leader, might not be.
- Thoughts on round penning
- Alternatives to the traditional “pressure-release” model of training.
- Thoughts on desensitization, integrating horses to new environments
