Course Description

For anyone who wants to be a better human for their horse regardless of your personal skill and  how we might be able to do something different to build better relationships. You need to know the truth about dominance and equine behaviour in-order to reach your potential and feel comfortable when people challenge your beliefs about the horse human relationship.

The equine world is full of myths and comments about leadership and dominance.  However, separating fact from fiction can be hard. So this webinar recording mini course  sets out to give you the evidence and knowledge to make your own decisions about your horse's behaviour and allows you to develop and confirm your own principles and attitudes while challenging the "your horse is trying to be dominant" mantra of so many people trying to disregard the horses behaviour as anything but bad behaviour deliberately trying to over throw you as leader of the herd.
