KAROLINA WESTLUND PhD
EQUINES, EMOTIONS & BEHAVIOUR
Karolina Westlund PhD, a specialist in animal ethology, with a multidisciplinary interest including affective experiences, behaviour and training, delves into the science of emotions - what they are, how they are experienced by equines, and how that is shown in the behaviours that we see. Understanding how interconnected affective states are to behavioural output adds another element of consideration to our exploration of the 'whole horse'. This is sure to be a fascinating presentation, with Q&A after to deepen our understanding of the equines we work and share our lives with.

REBECCAH BAYLISS
SELF-SELECTION & BOTANICALS
Have you ever watched your Horse nibble at the hedgerow and wondered what he is eating and why?
Have you ever seen your Dog eat grass and wondered why? The use of herbs has been around for thousands of years and at times provided the only available treatment. Animals have the ability to self –medicate on herbs and oils via taste and smell, picking up on the components of the plants.

DR EMILY KIESON & JESSIE SAMS
EQUINE COMMUNICATION VS TRAINING STYLES
This webinar examines the differences between training and horse-human communication. While any interaction between two animals can be considered communication, we will be looking closely at the interactions used in training, the goals around our interactions, and how this does or doesn’t line up with our ideas of communication and equine ethology.
This webinar will include:
- Analysis of operant conditioning in training
- Dissecting the application of associative learning in operant
conditioning
- Exploration of horse communication and social strategies
- Comparisons of social strategies with training practices – where do
they match up and where do they differ.
- Recognizing responses from horses in training and how this relates
differently to training than to communication.
- Methods to combine communication with management and training.
- Creating new approaches to balancing training with social
communication strategies

DR DOROTHY HEFFERNAN
UNDERSTANDING BIAS WHEN ENCOURAGING HUMAN BEHAVIOUR CHANGE
Dorothy explores the role of unconscious bias in our interactions with and attitudes towards our equines, and delves into how we can best understand it to encourage a shift in human behaviour. This is ultimately of huge benefit to the animals that we live and work with, but is often a difficult area to overcome.

She is a passionate advocate of making the science of learning theory accessible to both equine owners and professionals, in order that people can gain a deeper understanding of equine behaviour, and ultimately improve relationships with their companions.
Dorothy is a keen blogger on all things equine and shares are valuable experience and knowledge via her own blog Horses Under Our Skin. She is also one of the four woman team who have created Positive Equine Training Scotland. PETS provides a wide range of services using positive reinforcement to help owners with their training and a variety of husbandary behaviours, all enhancing the relationship with their equines
