Positive Reinforcement, Clicker Training, Enrichment, Cooperative Care. Because the difference isn't in what we ask the horse to do for us. The difference is in the horse's learning experience.
The Whole Horse Forward Program teaches positive reinforcement through clicker training to support the whole horse—mind, body, and environment.
We have fun, getting serious things done!
You want to do more with the horses in your life, maybe you can't ride together any more, maybe you are riding together, but you’ve run into a behavior, training challenge, or new goal and aren’t quite sure how to move forward.
You don’t necessarily need someone to take over the training—you need knowledgeable, individualized support that helps you understand what’s happening and what to do next.
You’ll have support where much of the real learning happens---While you’re working with your horse in your own environment.
Through video review and remote coaching designed to be simple, flexible, and easy to use without learning new complicated technology. No video editing, no setting up Zoom. You’ll receive individualized feedback, with help working through challenges, and guidance on what to do next.
In-person sessions, when available, give you the added benefit of hands-on coaching and demonstrations with your horse, while building the skills you’ll use when working independently.
Whether you’re caring for horses at home, volunteering with a rescue, or working professionally with horses, we build practical skills you can use where the real work happens: in your everyday interactions with the horses in your life.
