Plus, get the scoop on Helena’s new sand ring in the works. Listen in!

It’s springtime in America, and that means many of our horses are back to work in earnest. Some more than others, and for some horse owners, separating our horses from their friends in order to work, travel, or show, can mean managing emotions – theirs and ours. My guest today is Nick Rivera of the Horseman’s University. Nick is a trainer who helps horses gain understanding and confidence in a human environment. Nick and I talk about how we can manage our horse’s daily routines in order to help them learn to be more confident and independent. Listen in!

EP 62: Herdbound Horses with Don Jessop

March 30, 2021June 13, 2022

When making the decision to bring our horses home, it is easy to forget about how their social environment will change, and what effects that may have on how they’re able to perform their jobs as riding or driving partners. The fantasy of a two-stall barn right outside your back door is a lovely one, but the reality of having two or three horses means we often have to accommodate the emotional needs of the horse who gets left behind. My guest today is master horse trainer, animal behaviorist, and author, Don Jessop. Don was kind enough to join me for a discussion about how we can help our horses manage their separation anxiety. Whether your horse is at home, or rather attached to a buddy at his boarding barn, Don’s advice is very helpful. So, Listen in!
