The carrot or the stick: applying learning theory to horse riding 

with Trudi Dempsey and Justine Harrison

Join us on Wednesday 26th March for the final Welfare Wednesday Webinar of this winter series. Equestrianism, particularly whether we should be riding horses is under ever increasing public scrutiny and we all need ensure we are training horses using ethical practices based on learning theory.

We will be joined by experienced equine behaviourist and trainer Trudi Dempsey to explore how learning theory can be applied to riding horses, including correct use of negative reinforcement, but also where we can incorporate positive reinforcement in our horses ridden training.

Trudi will be accompanied by fellow equine behaviourist Justine Harrison to answer your questions in a live Q&A.
