We have an exciting new collaboration coming up this summer with Ali Kermeen, author of The Working Equitation Training Manual! This Friday she’s invited us to have a live discussion about our work in animal training, film and non-profit behavior education, and we’ll be announcing all the details. If you’d like to learn more about us, our latest project, and everything else we do, please join us on her page, Creating Soft, Round, and Confident Horses.

We haven’t posted in a while, but we had a good reason…we’ve been busy!

In order to provide high-quality animal behavior education that is available and accessible to as many people as possible, earlier this year we formed a nonprofit arm of Train with Trust, called The Train with Trust Project! And to launch this exciting endeavor, we have co-produced a documentary in partnership with PADMA VIDEO: The 24 Behaviors of the Ridden Horse in Pain.

We are so proud of our involvement in this beautiful film and the way its emotional narrative communicates essential, evidence-based information about equine behavior. And we are so happy it is available FREE, for everyone to view.

Please watch, visit the website https://www.24horsebehaviors.org/ for more information, take the survey, and let us know what you think in the comments!

The 24 Behaviors of the Ridden Horse in Pain is a film that dares to challenge the way we look at "badly behaving" horses, and promotes the notion that lamen...

🐕ANSWER TIME🐕

𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕕𝕠 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕕𝕠 𝕨𝕙𝕖𝕟 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕕𝕠𝕘 𝕓𝕒𝕣𝕜𝕤 𝕠𝕟 𝕒 𝕔𝕠𝕟𝕗𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕟𝕔𝕖 𝕔𝕒𝕝𝕝?

a. Yell at him/her
b. Lock him/her in another room
c. Ask him/her to settle down on their bed
d. Distract him/her with a toy

The best answer is C! Ask him/her to settle down on their bed

This is the best answer to change their future behavior, instead of just interrupting the behavior now.

This isn't something your dog will naturally DO, but it is something you can train.

“As a longtime dressage trainer, I think of those moments when a horse and rider are working together in perfect harmony. When everything clicks, it feels as if the horse's body and yours are moving as one. To me, that's sort of the ultimate example of the human animal bond.” - Jody Ambrose

Has it ever crossed your mind that our dogs at home have the same “equipment” as African wild dogs who rip apart their prey?
