This presentation will investigate how we can incorporate behaviour modification techniques into our everyday practice to deal with difficult horses. These will be shown with video case examples.

Learning Objectives:

Be able to indicate which behaviour modification technique will be most appropriate for a case
Be able to construct a shaping plan to retrain unwanted behaviours rapidly
Identify what factors will ensure the practical application is rapid and smooth
