Behavioral Horsemanship Behavioral Horsemanship is a relational approach to horse training that is rooted in behavioral science. We hope you find our content useful!

This means we focus on behavior change through connection, and connection happens when horse and handler are mutually noticed, valued and understood.

Moonshine’s first experience with long reining. Such a valuable lesson that teaches him about connection and leadership from behind.

This little clip shows an important concept—Attentional Capture. It’s at a moment right after I asked him to step his shoulder away from me laterally. It’s fun to see it in slow motion. Attentional Capture and Attentional Control are key concepts in Behavioral Horsemanship® training and Moonshine did it brilliantly.
