“New Zealand has a strong equestrian community, with horses excelling in disciplines like dressage, eventing, and show jumping. Equestrian sports can push horses to their physical limits and any discomfort or injury can affect their ability to compete and their overall quality of life. The demands of these sports can place significant physical stress on horses, leading to issues such as muscle stiffness, joint pain, and poor posture. Stiffness and pain are often shown in horses as an unwillingness to perform movements they previously found easy, or through pain-based behaviours such as bucking, rearing, reluctance to move forward, napping, and impaired performance. By addressing musculoskeletal issues, osteopathy helps horses perform better and recover faster, allowing them to stay healthy and active in the long term.”

🧠 Terminology Thursday 🧠
94% of riders think negative reinforcement involves punishment.
What do you think?👇

Let’s clear something up… because terminology really does matter—especially when it comes to how horses learn.

I often hear riders using terms like negative reinforcement when they actually mean positive punishment. These two are not the same thing at all. And if we’re going to train ethically and effectively, it’s crucial that we not only use the correct words—but understand what they really mean.

Negative reinforcement isn’t about being mean or punishing the horse. In fact, it’s one of the main ways horses learn: by removing pressure the moment the horse gives the correct response. (Think: leg pressure off when they move forward, or halter pressure released when they take a step.)

Understanding the function of these learning terms is far more important than just knowing the label. But if you're going to use the terminology, let’s make sure it’s accurate.

📩 Want to understand the four quadrants of operant conditioning properly?
Drop a 👇“PDF please”👇 in the comments and I’ll send you a free guide that breaks it all down—no jargon, just clear, horse-friendly science.

Because once you know how learning really works, everything changes.
