Do we always need to touch them and rub their face and try and hug them?

Can we let them tell us how they want to be touched or IF they want to be touched?

Equine enrichment! Yum! 🧡

Wandering around their Paddock Paradise 🧡

Typical baking hot festive season!

Therapy animals, ugh, stop riding them, stop twirling ropes at them and train them with positive reinforcement instead!

I don’t train with carrots either, which seems to make people very angry!

Donkey enrichment 🧡

They’ll gnaw all the branches down to stubs and peel all the bark off too 😋🧡

Clicker training equines, the ultimate in preparedness and patience! 🧡

I got a fly mask on a semi feral pony that desperately needed relief from the flies.

All he knows is a nose target and bridge and I shaped him to wear it in one session! 🙌

He’s very happy and cute now 🧡

His bigger friend will take a bit longer, but I touched him for the first time today 🥰

I love her deep but groggy neigh to the other horses at the hospital 🧡

Horses trained with Positive Reinforcement and all the associated pressure free and force free approaches means my life is easy and conflict free and the same goes for my horses.

I’m ensuring my horses aren’t positively reinforced for unwanted behaviours like escaping!

Note the open gate!
