Positive Reinforcement, Starting Out, with Clare Young

Lead a Horse to Water

In this episode I natter to Clare Young of Kindly Equine (see below for links to FB and Insta) about getting started with positive reinforcement. It's a great chat and we did go on a little longer than planned but I've left it whole as I think it works well. Hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed recording it, there will be further digs into the world of the new trainer in future episodes.

Clare is currently studying Equine behaviour with the Natural Animal Centre and is hoping to be accepted on a Masters course to study Clinical Animal Behaviour. I first met Clare when she began training equines with R+ and I travelled to meet her in Hampshire. Since then, I have come to know her as the QUEEN of learning environments- she is meticulous at setting up her learners for success and strives to create comfortable and fun learning opportunities.
