In this episode, we chat all about desensitisation and more importantly, how it differs from systematic desensitisation. These terms often get used interchangeably, but they’re not the same!

We break it down in a practical and horse-friendly way:

  • What each method actually involves
  • How they’re used in behaviour modification
  • When things can go well… and when they can go wrong
  • Why careful planning and ethical considerations are key

Join us as we explore how to build confidence and reduce fear in horses using evidence-based approaches, with a dash of humour, honesty and real-life case examples.
