Learning Theory & Ethical Horse Training
Learning theory underpins all ethical and effective horse training. Here you’ll find clear, science-based explanations of the principles we use at Equine Amigo, and how they apply in real-life training situations.
Why Learning Theory Matters
- Ethical, evidence-based training
Clear communication between horse and handler
Reduced fear, conflict, and stress
Long-term behavioural change without dominance or punishment
Systematic Desensitisation
Helping horses safely desensitise from neutral or previously aversive stimuli.
