🐴 The Training Scale - Shaping New Responses 🐴 Andrew and Manuela developed a shaping scale of horse training. Known as the Equitation Science Training Scale, it is a systematic progression that identifies six stages of learning to perfect each response, from a basic attempt (an approximation of the correct response) to proof (where the horse immediately responds correctly every time and in any environment). The scale is based on the principle of shaping: reinforcing successive improvements th

Think training on unstable surfaces is the key to building more stability? Think again. Riding, like paddling, surfing, skateboarding, and skiing, happens in an unstable environment. So it is easy to assume that wobble boards or Bosu balls would help prepare us for that. The reality is not that simple.
