Description

We’re back with PART TWO from author and accomplished horsewoman, Lynn Acton.  If you missed part one, go back and listen to that first!  In part one she introduced her concept of “protector leadership” and she starts her list of actions that we can do to help horses feel more safe. In this episode she will finish that list and talk to us more about about desensitization, which is a hot topic for us EAS folks-- including how we transition trust with qualified horse staff to our volunteers and building positive experiences for our horses.
Expect to hear: 

How to access horses “Learning Modes”
Concepts on desensitization
Integration into EAS lessons
Is it a “spooky horse?” or just not correct training for that horse’s personality?
How do we transition building trust with staff to building trust with volunteers?
Protecting horses from unnecessary stress
