Love working with Northumberland College Equestrian Centre at Kirkley Hall They are working really hard to improve their whole horse welfare and pass this passion on to the next generation of horse guardians. During an obstacle training session, I encouraged them to really thing about the language and cues they use with their horses and to imagine how confusing even subtle differences in words / tone / body language can be. Imagine going to Italy and being expected to know the more than 20 ways you can say "hello" on your first trip!! Even if it is only you that works with your horse - how consistent are you with words/tones/body language for any one specific action? Do you add in extra words that are actually unnecessary? Does your body ask in exactly the same way every time - in the field, in the stable, on hack, in the arena...? Keep it simple, keep it clear, keep it consistent 💯 🥰

A chance suggestion during a groundwork masterclass earlier this term led to our equine team working together to produce a ‘glossary of verbal cues’ for everyone to use when working with our school horses.

It’s still very much work in progress, but standardising the words we use, and the way we say them, to ask for certain behaviours will make it much easier for our horses to understand what we are asking of them.

Such a simple welfare win (why hadn’t we thought of this before? 🤦‍♀️🫣). Thank you Horse Harmony - Laura Collins for the challenge and Evolution Equine Behaviour - Debbie Busby Clinical Behaviourist for the advice.

P.S. It’s really hard to work out how to present words phonetically 🤣

Don't condemn your horse to a shell of a life.
