Send Us Your Questions

In this episode, we delve into the art of desensitization in horse training, exploring how systematic desensitization can (in theory) help horses remain calm and confident in the face of challenging stimuli. Starting with the basics, we discuss how desensitization 'works', from identifying triggers to gradually increasing the intensity of exposure. Along the way, we highlight the role of counter-conditioning and share practical tips for integrating these techniques into your training routine.

Butfair warning—what began as a concise 25-minute discussion... quickly turned into a lively, off-the-rails debate/exploration.
Join us as we navigate through our own insights, laughs, and passionate tangents on the topic. It’s a slightly unhinged 😆, but thoroughly enjoyable deep dive into one of the most effective strategies in horse training.

Whether you’re a seasoned trainer, a horse enthusiast, or just curious about animal behaviour, this episode is packed with actionable advice and a whole lot of fun.

Subscribe to our podcast, leave a review, and share your thoughts with us on social media. Your feedback helps us create more engaging and informative content for our listeners. Join the conversation and let’s continue to improve the future of horse training together!
