Author: Mark Langley November 15, 2025 Duration: 22:25

Horseman Mark Langley divulges his insights to help with horse training challenges: from whether you should complement your horse ("good horse!"); to knowing when to increase or stop the training program; to helping the sensitive horses and the shut down horses - how do you approach their training? 

He discusses the importance of understanding a horse's past experiences, particularly those with negative memories, and how these can affect their current behaviour. Mark emphasizes the need for patience and consistency in training, focusing on simple, achievable tasks to build confidence and trust. He also highlights the significance of creating a calm, focused environment for both the horse and trainer, and the role of voice and body language in effective communication.
