I am excited to be completing my training for Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL) which means that in the future I will be able to offer EFL sessions to people of all ages and abilities.

EFL is great for building confidence, self esteem, focus and concentration. It is also an approved activity for NDIS funding and it is especially beneficial for children with anxiety or who are on the spectrum.

My degree in Equine Science and my extensive experience with training and working with horses provide me with valuable skills that I can incorporate into the EFL sessions I provide. EFL sessions include grooming, bonding with the horses and activities on the ground so clients can learn to effectively communicate with their equine partner.

We have a range of beautiful horses for clients to work with at Frielander Equestrian, our horses range in age, size and horseonality and I will make sure to pair each client with the most suitable equine partner for sessions. All our horses are also very loved and cherished and life long family members.

Positive and Negative Reinforcement

Reinforcement training is when we want to encourage a behaviour in a horse. In contrast to this is punishment which is used to discourage a behaviour. There are two types of reinforcement, positive and negative. In simple terms, positive means you add something to reinforce a behaviour and negative means you take something away to reinforce a behaviour.

Positive Reinforcement- This training approach involves adding a reward when the horse finds the correct answer. The reward could be a food reward such as a carrot or it could be a scratch for the horse. Clicker training is a common form of positive reinforcement training which uses a click to mark a behaviour. This bridges the gap between the horse performing a desirable behaviour and getting a reward. An example of positive reinforcement is when the horse stands still at the mounting block for you to mount, you can give them a treat or scratch to reinforce the behaviour.

Negative Reinforcement- This method involves using pressure to motivate the horse to perform a task then removing the pressure when the horse responds appropriately. An example of negative reinforcement is when teaching your horse to back up, you apply a light pressure to the lead rope then as soon as the horse takes a step back, you release the pressure to reinforce the behaviour.

Timing is very important for both methods, whether it’s giving the reward at the correct time or removing pressure at the right moment. It’s this timing that lets the horse know that he has found the right answer and motivates him to try.
