61. Balancing Positive & Negative Reinforcement, Setting Quiet Horses Up For Success, and Trusting Yourself With CEP Graduate, Cassie
Episode description
In this episode, I chat with Confident Equestrian Program (CEP) graduate Cassie. She has a background in psychology and is a dog trainer who predominately uses positive reinforcement, but before she joined CEP, she struggled to find a method of reinforcement that felt right to her to use with her horse.
Together we discuss:
- How she was able to find and accept a method of reinforcement that works well for her quiet but very foody Clydie x, Oakie
- Her concerns about using negative reinforcement and desensitising and what her views are on that now
- The struggles she was facing as someone who wants to use both positive and light negative reinforcement with her horse and the perceived judgement that can come from that
- How she has been able to set Oakie up for success and prioritise their relationship whilst progressing with their training goals
- Her journey towards trusting herself and realising that she is the expert of her horse
- Her thoughts about CEP
and so much more.
