FOUNDATIONS OF TRUST

IS FOR YOU IF...

You're ready to try R+ training but don't know where to start - the amount of information out there feels overwhelming

You're looking to build a strong foundation to set you and your horse up for positive and successful riding, handling, and more

You've tried other programs that leave you and your horse frustrated, confused, and anxious about using food rewards

You're already a professional trainer looking to refine your skills and dive deeper into theory and application

You're ready to leave your doubts and fears behind, and embrace a new way of training and interacting with your horse

Foundations of Trust: The Art and Science of Positive Reinforcement for Equines: is the first course in The Willing Equine’s three-part unique, in-depth introduction to training your horse with positive reinforcement.

In part one of this comprehensive program, you will be immersed in Adele’s process of introducing clicker training to any horse, and you will learn how to create a foundation of communication with your own horse that will set you both up for a lifetime of success.

DURING THIS COURSE, YOU'LL LEARN HOW TO:

Train for Success

1

Avoid frustration for both you and your horse, create emotional balance, smooth mechanics, clear communication, & develop precise and flawless cues.

Balance the art & science of training

2

Learn how to apply the science, personalize training to your individual horse, increase creativity and enjoyment during sessions, and recognize when it's time to try something different.

Develop a Willing Partnership

Create a positive association with training for your horse by setting up your training environment for success, managing expectations, and recognizing discomfort and confusion.

3 YOU'LL ALSO LEARN HOW TO TRAIN THE FOLLOWING FOUNDATION BEHAVIORS:

Safe Reinforcement

Learn how to engage your horse in training safely and effectively. Even if your horse doesn't seem food motivated, is picky, pushy, dangerous, anxious, or seemingly bored!

Default Neutral

Also called ‘Manners’ or ‘Grown-ups Are Talking,’ this behavior is the foundation of all other training and the key to creating safety and calm feelings around food.

One of the most useful skills to teach any horse as it is so incredibly versatile. It's visual, easy to understand, and uniquely different to anything horses are taught in a traditional sense.
