Many horse owners seek correction training when behaviour becomes worrying, unsafe, or overwhelming. But does correcting behaviour actually resolve why it exists?
In this episode of Science for Soundness®, equine scientist Steffi explores the difference between correction and rehabilitation — and why these two approaches come from very different places.
You’ll learn:
Why behaviour is often a coping strategy, not a problem
The difference between human-centric and equine-centric training approaches
Why correcting behaviour doesn’t address its underlying cause
How restoring balance can change behaviour without force
Why focusing on flaws quietly changes the horse-human relationship
How understanding context creates clarity, trust, and connection
This episode is for horse owners who feel overwhelmed, unsure, or uncomfortable with the idea of “fixing” their horse — and who are looking for a way forward that honours the individual horse.
Listen now and explore a different way of understanding behaviour.
