Equine Behaviorology Lesson 2: Motivation Behind Equine Behavior, Recorded Lecture

Ever wonder why your horse does what they do?

Has your horse ever stopped wanting food in the middle of an otherwise good R+ session?

Does your horse sometimes disengage or lose focus during training?

In this class, you'll learn about dynamic motivation and the huge role it plays in your interactions, training, & relationship with your equine. This class covers some of the most important, yet often overlooked, concepts in training theory.

Topics include:
✍️ Defining an objective stimulus
✍️ The spectrum of value, from aversive to appetitive
✍️ Stimulus value as a subjective, dynamic, and context-dependent variable
✍️ Saliency, and its influence on motivation & behavior
✍️ The role of species-specific needs on equine behavior
