The Effect of a Nervous Human.... one of my favorite studies!

Researchers at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences looked at the effect of an increased heart rate in a human on the horse they were riding or handling.

Here's a link from the abstract... "Each horse–human pair walked or rode between points A and B (30 m) four times on each test occasion.

However, just before the fourth pass, participants were told that an umbrella⛱ would be opened as they rode, or led, the horse past the assistant.

The umbrella was not opened, so this pass was no different to the previous control occasions, but nevertheless there was an increase in HR for both the person AND the horse."

We affect our horses.

When looking at any training "issue", our first responsibility is to to know ourselves and explore if there's something we could do better.

Here's a link to the research article, unfortunately I couldn't find a full text version easily available online, but you can read the rest of the abstract here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S109002330900121X?via%3Dihub

9:30 a.m. Update: Just made a new post but storm did come in farther south and little weaker than predicted. Still saw gusts of 51 mph at Tacoma Narrows and 49 mph at Sea-Tac Airport but was 5-10 mph under what was pegged. As mentioned in original forecast it was tricky with the storm track and the southerly tack, saved stronger winds from the Puget Sound region.

====

6:30 am Thursday update: South winds are going to pick up soon in I-5 corridor and west winds down the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Forecast remains on track for strongest winds 50-55 mph from mainly King County and southern Snohomish County to the south.

THURSDAY MORNING WINDSTORM UPDATE:

BE READY — TIMING OF STRONGEST WINDS: 5-9 a.m. THURSDAY MORNING. Charge your stuff before going to bed tonight and have a non electrical alarm clock set (cell phone?) if you need to be up early Thursday juuuuust in case.

In a nutshell: It’s looking like this could be a decent windstorm or a large swath of the Puget Sound area Thursday morning, but it’ll be close. This is a really complex situation with the storm center now tracking over Western Washington instead of to our north which is really upping the level of difficulty. Because now small changes in tracks will mean a big difference of who gets the worst winds.

The worst area to be for strong wind is just to the south of the low center. Right now that’s looking like for I-5 area between the heart of Seattle/Bellevue and Tacoma/Olympia. Some of the latest hourly-updating models show potential gusts to reach 50-55 mph with areas near the water maybe pushing 60 mph. Snohomish County is right on the edge but there could still be a strong burst of wind as the low center passes through.

Again wind looks to start along the South and Central coast around 1-5 a.m., then suddenly ramp up around 5 a.m. in the South Sound, surging north through the I-5 corridor in the morning. If the storm track ends up a little farther north, this would push the peak winds more so between Seattle and Everett; a slightly more southerly track would keep the strongest winds south of Seattle. It will be close but everyone from Everett to Olympia should be ready just in case.

Attached as the graphic is the latest hourly model run (HRRR) as of 8 p.m. PT Wednesday showing peak predicted gusts through the entire event.

Also any readers on the eastern slopes of the Cascades so like Cle Elum, Wenatchee and Ellensburg —- be ready for strong winds over there too later in the morning.

I’ll be up early for updates Thursday.
