Over 77 Savvy Solutions for Herd-Bound Behavior

Authored by Kathy Baar

• Does your horse whinny when you take him away from his buddy?
• Does your horse rush to get back to the herd?
• Is your horse’s herd mate frantic when his buddy leaves the pen?
• Are your horse’s Separation Anxiety Issues becoming safety issues?

If you answered YES to any of the above questions,
“Solving Separation Anxiety” can help you!!

The above issues are real and create frustration, fear and sometimes injuries. There is nothing like a pacing, running, screaming horse to take the “fun” right out of the session!

Separation Anxiety is a world wide and discipline wide equine problem. No matter the level of horse owner from backyard enthusiast to international level competitors, issues with Separation is a common ground. In fact it was seeing horse loving students who were frustrated and feeling out of options that motivated me to write “Solving Separation Anxiety”.

This book is the culmination of my last 16 years of equine behavior study under Natural Horsemanship in addition to feedback from students on what works and what doesn’t work for them in their everyday settings. I have listened to students on what they need, want and can use when it comes to educational material and as a result it is my pleasure to present

Solving Seperation Anxiety.

My hope is that you are able to launch into success, fun and a more peaceful time with your horse after implementing the strategies throughout this book.

The book is laid out with a Theory Section to help you understand the underlying issue your horse is facing, as well as help you build powerful and impactful sessions with your horse. The theory section is followed by specific exercises based on how your horse is kept (stall, pasture, with a buddy), as well as riding strategies and “Emergency Situation” strategies.These sections include step by step photos to help guide you through the exercises. The last section of the book offers “Pattern Progress Pages” which serve as a place to record your sessions and any differences you see in your horse’s behavior.
