Let's face facts. Horses will often respond to new experiences, or novel stimuli in their environment, with a run first, ask questions later approach. Which can be downright unsafe at times and jolly annoying at others. So how on earth do we help them be LESS reactive and spooky when it comes to dealing with new situations or novelty in their environment? How can we set them up to succeed when we know that we have a new experience coming up for them - perhaps a vet visit or their first time at riding club, where we know they will be dealing with a lot of 'firsts'? I address this important topic in this episode. See you on the inside.
