Hi! This week we talk a little about the head and neck positions of the horse and how to teach 3 different ones.

Our new Instagram account that is complementary to this Podcast, where you can find additional information, videos and photographs as well as linked resources, can be found under this handle - @chroniclesoffinn

Here’s the episode breakdown:
1. Discussing how positive reinforcement training can indirectly carry over to and benefit other training
