Jill Treece is a 22 year-old equestrian and social media influencer from Arkansas in the USA.
For most of her career Jill specialised in eventing and used social networks, such as Instagram and YouTube, to share her journey, resulting in a loyal fanbase of more than 80,000 followers. However, in 2018 Jill discovered positive reinforcement training, or +R which she says changed her life – and that of her horses.
In this podcast Jill talks about the joy this training method brings to her relationship with her horses - but the struggles she has had in convincing others about her methods. She also reveals how her own mental health problems have driven her passion for learning and understanding both the horse and human mind, and she is currently studying a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counselling.
Jill also talks about:
· The amazing horses in her life, including Zoe who was the reason she discovered +R training
· The backlash she received from her followers when she started promoting her new methods
· Why she disagrees with join up
· The conflict she sometimes suffers when trying to combine traditional methods with +R
· Why she wants more people to discover +R training and the benefits it can bring
· Training techniques for a number of common issues, including lunging and teaching good manners
· The importance of talking to your horse in a language they understand
· The reward of working at liberty with horses
