FAQ : WHAT APPROACH DO YOU USE?

I use animal-led and consent-based approaches and where appropriate scent work (for horses) focusing on empowering your horse or dog and you. This means your Horse is the centre of everything we do together.

I do not use any flooding but incorporate gentle desensitisation and exploration in addition to titration and pendulation to build curosity. Titration and pendulation is adding tiny droplets of novelty and then giving your horse or dog the chance to relax between exploring. Working like this prevents BIG explosive reactions .

This approach ensures a safe and supportive environment for your horse or dog and promotes long-term problem-solving and confidence..

One of the Most Common Mistakes I See As A Clinical Animal Behaviourist

“ Push them through It “ or “ Don’t let them get away with it” is a frequent recommendation when riding or even in an attempt to “ desensitise “ their Horse.

The problem with this is in an attempt to expose your Horse to a trigger instead of them getting used to it they become more sensitive to the trigger not LESS.

Instead of calmer rides you get

❌ More spooking
❌ More tension
❌ More planting
❌ More panic

Your Horse becomes more frightened and trust might start to break down between you.

So you desperately keep trying and you and your Horse become more stressed and more scared.

What you are actually doing is making them more stressed and then you find yourself going round in circles no matter how hard you try nothing seems to help

What your Horse needs instead

💚Gentle exposure broken down into tiny pieces
💚Time to decompress between exposures
💚 Create safety
💚 Focus on positive experiences
💚Build coping skills
💚 Increase exposure gradually bit by bit

How my 90 Day Programme for Compkex and Stressed Horses works

✅ A deep dive into your Horses lifestyle to help you understand and meet their needs in a way that suits your life
✅I help you spot stress before it escalates
✅ I give you a deeper understanding of why your Horse does what they do
✅ Use a trauma-sensitive approach to help them feel safe
✅ If necessary speak to your vet to ensure that no pain or medical issues are making things worse
✅ Empathic support between sessions via text or WhatsApp

The best part of my job is seeing Horses and their humans grow in confidence together whether that is on the ground or ridden.

𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: 𝗜𝘁𝘀 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗪𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗜𝘁𝘀 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 !!

The main issue for me is as much as people speaking out against positive reinforcement wrong, neither is the pearl clutching if it’s criticised .

Nothing is without fault ! I think that not only is positive reinforcement not being used correctly a problem but it is often used before a horse is in a place to learn . You cannot train a stressed horse and more time must be put into preparing horses to learn .

It is the gold standard for teaching anyone including horses to learn but it is not a cure all.

Training of any kind does not fix everything so my belief is we need to put effort into ensuring horses are healthy and well and their needs are met before we teach a Horse anything .

There is also a huge difference between teaching an emotionally well horse and one who is struggling . They need different approaches .

Many of the horses I see exhibit aggressive or defensive responses most frequently as a result of physical pain or illness, trauma or unmet needs or a combination of all three .

It can be really scary to have a horse that acts defensively but it is crucial to understand that your horse is using long-term survival strategies and they are not simply being “naughty “ or badly behaved.

If your Horse struggles with handling and tries to bite and there is an activity you need to do like apply fly spray or pick out their feet use protected contact ( a barrier between you) this keeps you both safe and allows you to build trust again .

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗔𝗻 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝘀 𝗢𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗔 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝗜𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲?

If your Horse escalates. quickly and goes from 0-100, you are most probably seeing a hyperactive threat system . Animals including Horses who have been chronically stressed or traumatised tend to be extra sensitive to threat , this is called a threat bias.

When a Horse has been repeatedly overexposed to situations or objects that exceed their capacity to cope in different environments, sudden changes and even human or horse interactions can swamp their nervous system. This teaches them that

❌ I need to be ready for threat ALL the time

Essentially their nervous system acts like a car with a sensitive alarm going off even if something lightly brushes against it.

Their alarm system within their brain ( the amygdala which monitors for threat responses and passes sensory information that has survival and social relevance) (Prakash et al,2025). As a result threat responses become faster, louder, and harder to switch off.

This hypersensitivity to a threat response looks like:

🐴 Faster reactions even to “small” threats
🐴 Bigger reactions that seem disproportionate ( remember they are appropriate from your horses’ perspective)
🐴 Longer recovery times
🐴Freezing and reduced responses also occur . Both sides of the spectrum matter. Calm isn’t always calm

And this is where things get hard:

If you constantly try to train a dysregulated nervous system, your Horse lacks a sense of safety and their learning capacity is reduced. It is like building a house with a weak foundation . There is nothing to support the house and it collapses!

If your Horses’ body still feels unsafe, emotionally or physically ,the brain will default to survival and reflexive reactions every time.

They don’t learn new information this is bypassed by their reflex to respond usually by fleeing, fighting or freezing . There are other responses but those three are the most common .

The real progress happens when you :
🟢Minimise trigger exposure
🟢Add safety (social, physical, and emotional) and add predictability
🟢Help their nervous system to settle

Reset their brain and then you can train .
