Correction or Rehabilitation? Why Behaviour Isn’t the Real Problem in Horses
Description
Many horse owners seek correction training when behaviour becomes worrying, unsafe, or overwhelming. But does correcting behaviour actually resolve why it exists?
In this episode of Science for Soundness®, equine scientist Steffi explores the difference between correction and rehabilitation — and why these two approaches come from very different places.
You’ll learn:
Why behaviour is often a coping strategy, not a problem
The difference between human-centric and equine-centric training approaches
Why correcting behaviour doesn’t address its underlying cause
How restoring balance can change behaviour without force
Why focusing on flaws quietly changes the horse-human relationship
How understanding context creates clarity, trust, and connection
This episode is for horse owners who feel overwhelmed, unsure, or uncomfortable with the idea of “fixing” their horse — and who are looking for a way forward that honours the individual horse.
Listen now and explore a different way of understanding behaviour.
