- How they’re used in behaviour modification
- When things can go well… and when they can go wrong
- Why careful planning and ethical considerations are key
Join us as we explore how to build confidence and reduce fear in horses using evidence-based approaches, with a dash of humour, honesty and real-life case examples.
