This video gives you examples of stations to set up, and shows you some observations you can make about how your horse senses and learns, their posture and mobility, and their emotions around eating. The use of stations is a great enrichment activity regardless of whether you notice anything!

This video gives you examples of observations you can make while interacting with your horse - for example in training sessions, in particular contexts like certain husbandry procedures or handling feet, and when food is involved.

This video shows you some of the reactions you might get from hands-on evaluation. It also shows how changing what you are doing when the horse shows the most subtle responses, to show the horse you have noticed, can give you a clearer response. And it shows an example of setting up a more structured form of two-way communication.

This video shows the full length session that the 30-second clip in the Hands-on and two-way communication video comes from. This is to show you how much waiting and acknowledging of the horse's subtle responses is involved in them then giving you a clearer response. Here, Tonto demonstrates discomfort in his brachiocephalicus muscle. In this session I am also teaching Tonto to use his pectoral muscles to lift his trunk, part of his postural rehabilitation.

In this video we see part of an Attuned Assessment session with Willow, focusing on the responses I give to the horse’s subtle signs when I start to explore hands-on with them. At the end is a clip showing Willow’s nuchal ligament “popping” or flipping from side to side - her mane pings as she changes her head height. This can be a sign of tension, fascial restriction, chiropractic misalignments, or previous injury.

This webinar describes and explains how hoof shape is a result of how the horse habitually stands and moves. It demonstrates how hoof shape can be assessed with the naked eye or by using measurements of the live hoof or of photographs. This is an important part of determining what is going on with hoof and body function and in tracking progress.
