How Horses Learn Best: Learning Theory in Context 2020

  • Course
  • 22 Lessons
  • 30-day access

I've been teaching the importance of understanding learning theory in context since the first CPD day I was asked to deliver for the APBC back in 2005. Over the years I have observed many trainers looking purely at the mechanics of learning theory, without understanding the context. How is the horse feeling? What is going on inside the horse? How is that likely to be expressed?
