The Reactive vs Thinking State of Mind - The Philosophy Behind the Downunder Horsemanship Method

Horses have a reactive side and a thinking side. The reactive side is what Mother Nature tells the horse to use - run first and think later. Your job as a horse trainer is to teach the horse to develop the thinking side of his brain. The thinking side of his brain is the calm, analytical, rational, safe and obedient side.

This was great! I was blessed with an Appy TB whose martial instinct to fight was to spook straight up into the air, then turn and face what scared her, and figure it out... even march right up to it to investigate. (Scary when it was kids on bicycles flying towards us! 😂) People always asked how I trained her to react that way, but it was just her (very strong) personality. RIP Abbey ❤
