Shaping, also known as successive approximation, is a method where small, incremental steps are reinforced to guide an animal toward a desired behaviour. We break down how shaping works, from rewarding initial attempts to refining a behaviour until it meets the training goal. Throughout the episode, we explore real-world examples of shaping across various species, from dogs learning to sit on command to horses mastering complex tasks. We also discuss the importance of timing, consistency, and patience, along with the common challenges trainers may face when using this technique.

This comprehensive discussion is designed to unravel the complexities of how we perceive and interact with our equine companions. Join us as we tackle the intriguing topic of what constitutes 'normal' behaviour in horses. What are the typical patterns and habits of these animals, and how do they vary across different environments and situations? We'll explore the natural behaviours exhibited by horses and how they adapt to the lives we share with them. Then, we shift gears to discuss abnormal behaviours. These can range from subtle changes in temperament to more pronounced issues like stereotypies or aggression. We'll examine the causes behind these behaviours, such as stress, environment, and health issues, and how they can be identified and managed. But what about behaviours that are not necessarily abnormal yet are considered unwanted from a human perspective? This part of the episode focuses on the challenges faced by horse owners and handlers in managing behaviours that may be natural for horses but problematic in human care settings. We'll discuss training approaches, management strategies, and the importance of understanding equine psychology to create a harmonious relationship between horses and humans. Whether you're a seasoned equestrian or simply love horses, this episode will enhance your understanding and appreciation of the complex nature of equine behaviour.
