A trauma informed approach to resistance, behaviour and pain response in horses.
Learn to identify and problem solve the causes of resistant behaviours including pain response, unsoundness, musculoskeletal dysfunction, physical inability, training issues, health concerns, mental, emotional and chemical distress, nervous system dysregulation and many other factors.
Early recognition can help defuse a potentially frustrating and dangerous situation, facilitate training, and prevent serious injury.
Let’s not resist resistance. Let’s embrace resistance, really engage in the process of learning and discovery, and let it teach us how we can better help our horses and ourselves.
