WILD
Let's face it, working with a Wild horse is just different. Sure the principles are the same, but typically the steps are smaller and the fear responses bigger. I feel you. I have been there. Which is why I created this program. In "WILD Foundations" we will cover the Principles of Positive Reinforcement including the basics of operant and classical conditioning and how they apply to WILD horse training.
