CALMING SIGNALS ONLINE
Summer 2023 marks the launch of the online version of Rachaël's Calming Signals of Horses course. The initial launch is in Dutch, but the English version is due out at the beginning of the autumn!
The course offers over 50 film clips of equine body language and information on how what calming signals are and how to recognise them and the role that tension plays. It also offers insights into how you can use calming signals yourself during your interactions with horses.
