Do you understand how your horse thinks?
Recently, I had the pleasure to speak with Dr Temple Grandin on the podcast.
Temple is a pioneer in animal welfare, neurodivergence advocacy, animal science and animal behavior. She has multiple degrees, holds a position as an international expert on humane animal handling, breeding, husbandry and training and is a huge hero of mine. The subject of documentaries and movies, an author and published, peer-reviewed scientist, having an hour of her time for the podcast was an opportunity I couldn’t pass on, and you shouldn’t miss.
Listen wherever you get your podcasts!

A question for those who believe horses aren’t capable of connecting, of feeling… Those who have the stoic fairy tale that life must be hard, that you must grimace while riding and fight…
How’s that working for you?

As horse people, we understand that sometimes a lot of effort is put in with very little reward… but we love horses enough to find value in the little things.

Should you feed your horse during transportation?
I like to feed my horses the EXACT way I would any other day (trailering is not the time to try something new), but also increase their water consumption (such as making their supplements a watery mush) and their electrolytes, such as salt.

Planning to transport your horse? No matter if you’re doing a long haul or a short trip, it’s important to review any potential triggers that could make loading or hauling a not-so-pleasant experience and practice them ahead of time.
That could include stepping up, walking up or back down a ramp, being in a confined space, etc.
Check out the Emotional Horsemanship Video Library where you'll find a variety of trailering video resources (**including how to practice if you don’t have a trailer available to practice with!!) as well as over 170 other videos (with new videos being added each week!) for you to learn Emotional Horsemanship and begin looking at partnership with your horse in a whole new way.

Dealing with separation anxiety?
Before you begin to work on any exercises (which I’ll give a hint to in part 2), it’s important to review things like “are their basic needs met? Are they living a species appropriate lifestyle?” Etc.
Watch for part 2 in a few days for my go-to separation anxiety exercise.
