Send Us Your Questions

Welcome to our very first episode! The audio is a little rough around the edges (we were still finding our sea legs), but the conversation is a good one.

In this episode, we explore a big question in the horse training world: Does positive reinforcement lead to biting?

We dig into what the research says, where the concern comes from, and how training approach, timing, and clarity can shape behaviour. Whether you’re new to positive reinforcement or already using it in your horse’s training, this discussion offers food for thought, reassurance, and maybe a few laughs along the way.
