Once you have found the routes of the behaviour you can begin to find solutions. 🐴
In today’s case study @JenniNellist and her client decided that moving to a new yard, better suited the horses needs was the best course of action.

🍏 Gateways are common areas for horses to become aggressive. This is often because the horse has been conditioned to think that the gate = food.
This means that a gate itself has become a resource worth guarding.

🐴Colts will be colts🐴
Research has shown colts play rough & tumble with other colts and are more gentle when playing with filly’s.
It’s important we consider how horses interact with different members of their herd and ensure their behavioural needs are met.

There are 4 things to consider when assessing a horse’s aggressive behaviour:
🍏 1. What purpose is the behaviour serving?
🍎 2. How did it develop?
🍏 3. How did it evolve?
🍎 4. How does it work? - drill down to molecular level and beyond.

As a clinical behaviourist it’s important to look at the bigger picture - we are often helping overcome human behaviours as well as horse behaviour says @JenniNellist 💬
