SOLVING SEPARATION ANXIETY
My hope is that you are able to launch into success, fun and a more peaceful time with your horse after implementing the strategies throughout this book.
The above issues are real and create frustration, fear and sometimes injuries. There is nothing like a pacing, running, screaming horse to take the “fun” right out of the session!
Separation Anxiety is a world wide and discipline wide equine problem. No matter the level of horse owner from backyard enthusiast to international level competitors, issues with Separation is a common ground. In fact it was seeing horse loving students who were frustrated and feeling out of options that motivated me to write “Solving Separation Anxiety”.
This book is the culmination of my last 16 years of equine behavior study under Natural Horsemanship in addition to feedback from students on what works and what doesn’t work for them in their everyday settings. I have listened to students on what they need, want and can use when it comes to educational material and as a result it is my pleasure to present
