Operant conditioning (clicker training) is really useful when your horse is confined but still needs their mind exercised. Tuk Tuk got tangled in a fence a few days ago and injured his leg. Thankfully it is just soft tissue damage and he will make a full recovery. I am keeping him in his own pen, next to the field where the rest of the herd is, until he is healed. He is bored. He whinnies to me when it is time for training 😂 Mom has used operant conditioning for the past 30 years to train servi

When training horses (or any animal for that matter… even sometimes humans..) the main way in which horses learn new behaviours is though Operant Conditioning. Two of the main components of Operant Conditioning are Positive Reinforcement and Negative Reinforcement. At ESI, we promote Combined Reinforcement. Here, Dr. Andrew McLean explains what Combined Reinforcement is, and how we can use it in horse training in the form of pressure/release training and the addition of food rewards or scratchin

The training of horses is a practice that has existed for millennia, long before the mid-twentieth-century breakthrough in animal learning theory. There has been significant progress in incorporating learning theory into horse training over the past century. This progress includes understanding habituation, employing desensitization techniques, recognizing different types of cues, balancing operant and classical conditioning, and considering the impact of stress. While learning theory provides a

🐴 Did You Know? Horses don't just learn during training; every interaction, cue and environment shapes how they think and react. 📚This is the basis of the Equine Learning Theory, which explains how horses process information and develop behaviours. The learning theory can be broken down into the following concepts: 🔹Habituation 🔹Sensitization 🔹Classical Conditioning 🔹 Operant Conditioning Understanding these principles helps you communicate clearly, train effectively, and create a positive

Why Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) is Therapeutic—But Not Therapy There’s something undeniably powerful about working with horses. They help us grow, heal, and find clarity in ways that words alone can’t. But while Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) is therapeutic, it is not therapy—and that distinction matters. Unlike traditional therapy, EAL is not led by licensed therapists. Instead, it’s a guided experience where participants learn valuable life skills, build confidence, and develop emotional aw

Another tidbit from equitation science that changed my life: Truly understanding learning theory. Understanding the underpinnings of operant conditioning so that I could improve my timing and my feel, making it possible to teach my horses anything. I have this horse in no small part because his behaviour under saddle made him at best “hot” and “strong” and at worst “diabolical”… and while I always hoped I could have him come around, and while not every day is perfect.. I didn’t think we would ge

Warwick Schiller 🐴 on Instagram: "The Application of Your Aids in Action. In my book The Principles of Training, I discuss the principle of The Application of Your Aids. I detail that training is all about learning theory—specifically, how horses form associations through classical and operant conditioning. Think of aids (or cues) as the “language” we use with our horses: energy, body position, rein pressure, even consistent patterns like a hat tip. Here’s an example: a horse was taught
