@jumpingbeanmustangsllc: In light of a certain video going around recently, I thought I’d dust off this video from 2023. Horses react to their environment, and they only escalate as much as they feel is necessary for their survival. It’s our job to figure out why the horse is reacting that way. There are many ways to train that don’t involve hitting 💜 #jumpingbeanmustangs #sciencebasedtraining #positivereinforcementhorsetraining #equinewelfare #ethicalhorsemanship #equinebehavior #clienthorse
“There’s no way we’re about to start gentle parenting horses” why not? Gentle parenting is all about respect

also teaches them to hide the signs they’re going to kick or bite, you can imagine how that goes.

Like let’s normalize that animals have boundaries and deserve respect

watching him immediately start to relax and literally shake out the tension from being stressed/overstimulated because you reacted so calmly was really really sweet

So um this goes for humans as well. Be their peace and they'll have peace when with you.

Sorry your comments are full of people who'd rather abuse and break their horse than become partners with them. Your patience and lack of reaction was beautiful.

normalize building trust and respect instead of "correcting" animals for fear behaviors. 💜💜💜

A mustang taught me that he was bigger than me and did not have to do anything he didn’t want to. So I learned to ask nicely and he was an absolute dream of a partner 🥹❤️🩹

Same goes for dogs. If you forbid them to show uneasiness etc (snarling, showing teeth) you are telling them to skip straight to the next escalation level: biting bcs they learned that noone listens..

Reading the comments makes me livid, how do people have so little empathy for living creatures but what do you expect, I guess, considering what they votes for 💀

Humans have such epic capacity for empathy. I’ll never understand why some people choose to switch it off.

“But this is how horses correct each other” We. Aren’t. Horses. We have more tools and more intelligence at our disposal. Positivity is PROVEN to work better than punishment.

For those thinking she rewarded the agression, studies proved consequence has to happen within seconds for it to be effective. Look at what happen right before the treat, that's the target behaviour.

My horse had someone always be harsh with him, so he acted defensively if you corrected him and he’d square up like ‘ok fight me’ and it took me being like I just want mutual respect, he stopped it

As someone who’s worked with exotics for 15+ years. You can absolutely train animals without ever needing to hit or yell or do anything like that.

Ty!!!! I started out in zoos where positive reinforcement has been the only thing used in DECADES BC IT WORKS. I get embarrassed for people who still hit animals & call it training, sooo antiquated

Dog trainer here, this advice is not just relegated to equine, rather any animals that have given us the great fortune of being domesticated for our pleasure and use. Consider your blessings, humans!

i love how many “horse people” in the comments don’t understand basic equine body language 💀 he clearly just communicated with her “hey that hurt” and y’all want her to punish for that

Reminds me of when little kids scream or hit because nobody will listen to their words. If you listen to them and give them space then you can learn from each other and be ok

I grew up using physical punishment on horses and it NEVER worked. We need to do better and find alternatives
