The Willing Equine Adele Shaw, CHBC

Remember my social media post where I asked you all what *couldn't* be trained with R+? Thank you to everyone who commented, sharing their take on behaviors they believed would not lend themselves well to an R+-based approach. I decided to go through the comments on my podcast, diving into some myth-busting and explaining how I might teach the behaviors mentioned with R+. The answers might surprise you!

In this episode (part five of this series), I dive into how whether or not R+ can be used in the following situations:


Proprioception training & building self-awareness
Movement Science & Intrinsic Motivation
Cart driving
Training behaviors in situations where genetics & breed predispositions present challenges

Make sure you catch all 5 parts of this series!

Check out the following videos for examples of R+ being used to train horses to pull a cart.

Welcome to season 5 of TWE podcast! After a long break from recording episodes in 2023, I'm so excited to be back.

We kick off the first episode of season 5 by sharing some BIG life updates on the TWE herd, including moving homes, herd changes, and more!

I also share my personal and business related goals for 2024.

Then we dive into some myth busting! A while back I posted a photo on social media, asking commenters to share behaviors that they believed COULDN'T be trained with R+. In this episode and the one that follows, I'll be sharing my take, which is that R+ works for ALL behaviors! I'll discuss how you can go about teaching your horse that specific behavior using R+, and share some tips and tricks along the way. In this episode, we evaluate 3 behaviors.

- Long duration ridden behaviors (dressage tests, jump courses, trail rides, etc.)

- High school dressage movements

- Tactile cues (Cues that look like traditional R- cues)

So tune in to see just how you can teach these behaviors with R+!
