The pressure on equestrians to be kinder in their training means that more and more are turning to reward-based training methods, but does training with food equal better outcomes for our equines?
In this presentation equine behaviourist and trainer Trudi Dempsey looks at the signs that indicate when a horse is having a hard time training with food. She discusses why these problems may occur and how they can be resolved, sharing her experience of creating better outcomes for horses and their trainers.
Do you think you can't train your horse with food? Do you struggle to understand why your horse ‘mugs’ you when you carry food no matter how careful your timing is? Trudi will show you techniques that answer these questions and more.
This lecture is aimed at horse owners, students and equestrian professionals interested in learning about how horses learn and training. You don't need any prior knowledge about horse behaviour to watch this presentation.
Once enrolled you have 60 days to watch the lecture.
Such important points laid out in an easy to understand way which can be applied practically! Can't wait to support my pony to be more relaxed around food.

Read MoreI have been dealing with increased frustration around food as we added another horse to our little herd. This course definitely provided a lot of a-ha moments and loads of note taking. I will definitely be taking these techniques to the field next time I am training with my gelding. Thank you!
