    Motivation, energy and flow

    Can we provide animals with the same access to a sense of enjoyment that we as humans value so much? - Hintze & Yee (2022) If we are looking to rehab and train and thus improve performance we need the horse to be working at an intensity that stimulates adaptation. So what if the horse could be happy to increase effort and be in a 'flow state' whilst they do it? I don't know the answers but wanted to share a few thoughts about my recent exploration into the human psychological theories of motivation! Ref for the paper I mentioned: Hintze, S. and Yee, J.R., 2021. Animals in flow–Towards the scientific study of intrinsic reward in animals. Biological Reviews. For Self-determination theory look up Ryan and Deci's model.

    Sympathetic Nervous System - Friend or Foe?

    What is the autonomic nervous system and how does it effect our horses?  In this podcast I talk about the flight and fight, rest and digest elements of horse behaviour and ask the question - is the being in a high arousal state always a concern? Can it be beneficial in rehab and training. I have a lot to learn about the topic of motivation and ideas such as flow state, and how they can be applied to horses but I think there is so much that can translated. What do you think?
