Regain training health when using reward-based training with your horse.


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.

Great piece of learning

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.
