Can we provide animals with the same access to a sense of enjoyment that we as humans value so much? - Hintze & Yee (2022)
If we are looking to rehab and train and thus improve performance we need the horse to be working at an intensity that stimulates adaptation. So what if the horse could be happy to increase effort and be in a 'flow state' whilst they do it?
I don't know the answers but wanted to share a few thoughts about my recent exploration into the human psychological theories of motivation!
Ref for the paper I mentioned: Hintze, S. and Yee, J.R., 2021. Animals in flow–Towards the scientific study of intrinsic reward in animals. Biological Reviews.
For Self-determination theory look up Ryan and Deci's model.

What is the autonomic nervous system and how does it effect our horses?
In this podcast I talk about the flight and fight, rest and digest elements of horse behaviour and ask the question - is the being in a high arousal state always a concern? Can it be beneficial in rehab and training. I have a lot to learn about the topic of motivation and ideas such as flow state, and how they can be applied to horses but I think there is so much that can translated. What do you think?

What should you do in the week or days before a big event. The big event may be the olympics but it may also be a clinic you travel to or a pleasure ride. What ever it may be it usually represents an increase effort compared to your horse's normal day to day level of activity. In this podcast I talk about ways to ensure you are ready for the event, you have the greatest level of performance there and you do not increase the risk of injury for your horse.

We know that to progress and adapt the musculoskeletal system the body has to work a bit harder. But how hard and how do you know if you are working your horse too hard or not hard enough?
In this podcast I talk about the concepts of working to failure and working with 2 reps in reserve.

What do you put on your horse for ground work - if a) you do ground work and b) you aren't at liberty?!
In this episode I talk through the options - head collar, rope halter, bridle or cavesson.

Pain and Stress effect posture of a horse.
In this episode I talk about these two major factors that influence the horse's body. There are lots of reasons a horse moves the way it does, such as conformation and training, but we can positively effect the horse if we address pain and stress. These should be first on our list so that we can retrain movement with optimal posture and positive tension. This will result in a happier horse, with a relaxed supple movement which is needed for progressing rehab and as part of all sporting disciplines.

If your horse has been diagnosed with kissing spines, what are your options for treatment
In this episode I talk about conservative and surgical treatments. Whilst not a vet, I am involved in the discussions with vets and clients, and have a good knowledge of the veterinary literature. All horses are individuals and their is no one answer however knowing the options is the best support to decision making for the best outcome for your horse. PS medication and or surgery are only part of the story of course. The most important stage of treatment is what happens next!
This is the fourth in my series of podcasts on kissing spines, look out for the next on rehabilitation.
