COURSE 3:
MOTIVATION AND TRAINING FROM THE HORSE'S POINT OF VIEW

EBEC Course 3 builds upon the content of Course 2.  In this Course you will gain more knowledge about the Horses’s brain. You will get evidence and knowledge about important brain tissue and how the different layers transfer information. That’s very important when you want to teach the horse something. You want to be able to activate seperate areas in the brain, especially the memory cells, the cortex as well as the conscious and unconscious areas of the brain. It is highly important that you understand how to deal and react to the horses emotions and how they communicate with the rest of the body. A deeper understanding of the ethograms has to be taken into consideration in order to react accordingly to the horse’s bodylanguage and to reach your training goals fast and efficient.

A big part of this Course is also a deeper understanding of the behaviorist theories and some new behavioral research will be shared with you. All information is based on studies, facts and this knowledge is a kind of a centrepiece to fully understand EBEC.  You will work with untrained horses, get practical exercises (our famous TRY OUTS are waiting for you) with important gymnastics and groundwork for your horses. Your horses will be the best in shape horses around your area. You will be able to get them in the best shape possible so they will succeed under the saddle.

As you, when you train horses, also have a lot of contact with all kinds of different people, we give you valuable information about human-to-human communication. This content is very much important in your stable surroundings, but your private life will definitely benefit as well. That is a kind of a beautiful side effect.

Skills in self-reflection, realistic goal setting and an open mind for Feedback are very helpful, when training horses with EBEC. You will feel valued, when working with your horse. You are in the same team and you have a beautiful understanding for the horses feelings and reactions to signals. That makes you beautiful, happy, wanted and successful. The AKA Team consists also of psychologists and communication experts.

We deepen your double line lunging skills with the help of modern technology, like video analyses. The creation of training plans and the documentation of problem analysis of the horses condition becomes very familiar, especially as we guide you through different phases of sport and gymnastic instruction from the horse’s point of view.

In the meantime you are able to practice all 7 steps of a completed training session with new horses, which you have never seen before, as well as problem horses and young starters or green horses. In Course 3 you found a wonderful supportive team of other participants, you made new friends and you grew into this beautiful community which we proudly call AKA family. You become a part of a global network, which is simply amazing. We are so proud of you observing your learning curve.
