Course 2:
Learning and Horse comprehensible use of learning theories

The EBEC Courses build upon one another and as you now from Course 1 are already are an expert in interspecific communication with your horse you now need to gain more evidence based knowledge about the use of the learning theories adjusted for the horses brain.

We at AKA designed a unique learning program adapted to the horses brain, which you will learn in this impressive course 2. This is something you will be really excited about as you will understand why some horses understand better from one trainer what he wants and some do not understand that trainers signals at all. The misinterpreting of the learning theories is a big part in creating problemhorses and is the source of most misunderstandings. We transformed the learning theories like classical and operant conditioning so that the horse understands quickly and in the absence of stress, fear and excitement what you want him to do.

This course will push you out of your personal comfort zone and we will fully support you with love, tremendous knowledge and enthusiasm through every single step of learning resulting in a rising learning curve and skillset. You are on your way towards a very successful equestrian lifestyle. Others will already observe you, be impressed and start asking you questions which you are able to answer on fact based knowledge.

This upcoming set of Live Online Training offers another series of video analyses of your work at home with your horses to improve your technical skills and horse-related competences. Detailed Feedback is included, regardless of the use of your horses or your personal topic: Pleasure, Jumping, Dressage, Eventing, day-to-day problem solving like kicking the farrier, not loading in a trailer, not standing still for the Vet and many more behavioral corrections. We are here to bring you to the next level. You learn how to apply the learning theories and our unique reward and reject system to a behavioral response from the point of view of the horse. You will learn how to switch sides an dtaht’s increasing your empathy and compassion for any kind of horse behavior.

Reflexes and Instincts are a big part of this course as well as classical and operant conditioning and how to reject and how t reward from a horses perspective. The method is a revolution of horse training and was developed within AKA. You will experience how little the signals need to be. Almost not visible from the outside, but very effective. Everything is calm, safe, you will not experience any excitement in horses, no chasing in circles and no punishment whatsoever. You get an inside on the secret recipe of EBEC.

We now add on. In course 1 you got introduced to the first 4 steps of a full Training session with new horses you might take in training, part of this course is step 5 -7 which will complete this full process. We introduce you how to start young horses, how to safely introduce the first saddle, bridle, rider and how to use double line lunging for best physical performance.

The practical hands on horses days will include demonstrations with starters, young green horses and we will show you how impressive the horses learning curve is increasing session by session. You gonna be impressed. Promised!
