The BHS has focused on the horse/human relationship and equine wellbeing in 2023 so we are delighted to widen this conversation and proud to host an inspiring international Fellow of The British Horse Society, both online and in person in the UK, over the winter.

Angelo will stretch our minds and lead us as we take a long hard look at ourselves, whether you are horse owner or coach, as he shows how horses and humans receive, process and retain knowledge, how good practice can change behaviour, using rewards positively and the power of understanding how the equine and human minds interact.

In the second of two webinars, this event will concentrate on 'Learning Theories Applied To Horse Training', looking at:

- Non-associative, associative and cognitive learning
- Classical training enhanced by Operant Conditioning
- Problem solving with learning psychology, needle shy horses trailer loading and refusal under saddle

IHRT Sue Palmer discusses improving equine welfare and performance using the Ridden Horse Performance Checklist (aka the RHpE, or Ridden Horse Pain Ethogram).

In this presentation, Sue shares the science to back up your feeling that all is well with your horse, or to help you recognise when something isn’t right. She will take you through some of the key ideas from her new book ‘Harmonious Horsemanship’, including sharing with you the 24 behaviours of the Ridden Horse Performance Checklist (RHpE). By monitoring the behaviour of the ridden horse using the RHpE, we can reduce the risk of injury, improve performance, and, best of all, be comfortable in the knowledge that we are keeping up to date with the latest evidence to ensure we are listening to our horses to the best of our ability.
