Stage 1 : Theory

HOW HORSES LEARN

Understanding how horses learn is the foundation of all good training. In this module, we explore the science behind equine learning, breaking down classical and operant conditioning, the four learning quadrants, and the role of reinforcement, timing, and pressure. Through this theory-led series, you’ll gain clarity on what motivates behaviour, how horses process new information, and why consistency matters. Whether you’re refining groundwork or building a ridden foundation, this knowledge helps ensure your cues are clear, your rewards are meaningful, and your training builds connection—not confusion.
