Changing a horses's attitude about transitions from aggressive to calm

Safety is first and foremost in any situations so we always need to keep ouselves and others safe. Horses are not born aggressive…they learn it over time and it usually comes when they perceive a threat. They see it as a matter of survival but it usually works so well that they go there over and over again once they realize that they can get the threat to go away or at least keep it at bay. By putting something in the training equation that the horse values and by giving him free choice…without any pressure, physical or psychological, we can change his attitude from defensive to willing. The key is in super small steps AND in teaching it in a new way. www.shawnakarrasch.com Distributed by OneLoad.com
