Did you know horses can hold onto trauma? Helping horses work through trauma and learning to avoid it (especially with gentling + colt starting processes) has been a key focus of my work for the past 4 years.
If you have ever worked with a horse who seems to be caught in a “loop,” reacting over and over to the same thing or seeming to be fine and then explodes out of nowhere, this episode is for you!
In this episode of the Compassionate Cowgirl, I talk about how to prevent trauma in horses, inspired by the work of Dr. Peter Levine, trauma therapist, author, and creator of the Somatic Experiencing method.
In this episode you will learn...
-The 3 ways horses react from fear
-What trauma is (Hint: It’s actually not what happens to you)
-The 2 ingredients for creating trauma
-The importance of “titration” in therapy AND horses
-Prevention tips for avoiding trauma with our horses
Do you want to learn from me?
I have wrapped up my entire life’s work (and heart’s offering to the world) into my signature online course & educational system: The Horse-Human Connection Academy (HCA).
We typically open enrollment to HCA twice per year. Take a look at what HCA is all about, and sign up for the early enrollment list at this link: www.mustangmaddy.com/the-hca/
When you join the early enrollment list, you will have the opportunity to enroll in HCA several days before we open up to the public, giving you the best chance at securing your spot in the academy. You will also receive valuable trainings from me, delivered right to your inbox! You are not obligated to purchase anything when you sign up for the early enrollment list.
We look forward to welcoming you into our Herd!
