It’s not too late to register! THIS WEEKEND— we’re hosting part three of our four-part lecture series on Equine Behavior, Part III: Performance & Rehabilitation with Anna Boger DVM.

🗓️ SATURDAY OCTOBER 4th @ 10am

📍Misty Step Stables 21036 Beallsville Rd

This lecture explores how behavior science can support athletic goals in a horse-friendly way.

We’ll also look at common behavior challenges, which often come from a mix of physical limitations, pain, and reinforcement patterns. You’ll learn about simple, low-cost tools that trainers and owners can use to start teasing out these factors.

With training strategies grounded in behavior science, we can help horses feel better, work better, and say yes more often.

Dr. Boger will cover the application of behavior science and learning theory to the performance horse world. PLUS evidence based, practical strategies for horse owners and trainers asking: is it pain, or is it just a behavior problem? And how do we know?
