By using shaping techniques, trainers can teach horses complex exercises, such as dressage movements or ju

In this week's video, Dr Andrew McLean talks about a form of stereotypy, windsucking (or crib biting). He discusses whether this is a bad thing and how this stereotypical behaviour can also indicate something positive about a horse. Stereotypy is a repeated, relatively invariant sequence of movements that has no function obvious to the observer. Stereotypies are abnormal behaviours and are generally considered a sign of impaired welfare. Stereotypic behaviour arises from frequent or chronic stre

We go on and on about the importance of withers scratching! Why? Not only is it the most common place for horses to scratch each other, but research shows it lowers the heart too! So why not use this to your advantage as riders? Delivering a scratch/rub to the withers region is a fantastic way to reinforce a behaviour. And aside from that, it's just a lovely way to bond with your horse. These two love scratching each other. We're very proud our new stable structure makes it easy for them. Do you
