About this listen

There are six primary behavior motivators for horses:

1) Food
2) Water
3) Safety
4) Comfort
5) Companionship
6) Reproduction

To understand why a horse does something (good, bad, or indifferent), it is important to first think of the behavior as belonging to one of these six categories.

When you identify which of the six motivators are influencing your horse in any given moment, it becomes much, much easier to meet their needs. And, when you meet their needs, they become much more cooperative. And yes, we want cooperation, not control. Listen in!
