 Introduction We all want our horses to enjoy the best possible quality of life. It’s easy to view stress and pain as threat to that goal – and to try to avoid them wherever possible. But the truth is that challenges and discomfort are inevitable parts of life, for horses just as much as for humans. So how do we navigate this reality? How can we optimize our horse’s resiliency and prevent chronic stress? How do horses learn to cope with the challenges it faces living in our human world? The answer lies not in avoiding stress or challenges altogether, but in understanding it – to recognize the difference between functional and harmful stress, to prevent chronic stress as much as possible and to learn what our horses need to regulate, adapt and thrive. That’s exactly what this course is about.
