Who we are
With so many trainer options available, why choose Dual B?
We use a trust and connection-based horse training method of pressure and release, positive reinforcement, and clear communication.
Positive, trust-based horse training focuses on building a relationship of mutual respect and understanding between the horse and the trainer, rather than using force, fear, or intimidation. It relies on clear communication, patience, and rewarding desired behaviors through positive reinforcement, such as treats, verbal praise, or gentle petting.
Key elements include:
- **Trust**: The horse is treated as a partner, and the trainer earns the horse's trust through consistency, kindness, and calm handling.
- **Positive reinforcement**: Rewards are given when the horse demonstrates the desired behavior, encouraging them to repeat it.
- **Clear communication**: Trainers use body language, voice commands, and cues that are easy for the horse to understand.
- **Patience and understanding**: Instead of punishing mistakes, the trainer focuses on teaching the horse what is expected in a low-stress environment.
- **Listening to the horse**: Trainers pay attention to the horse’s signals and respond appropriately, adjusting the training to the horse’s emotional state.
This method leads to a deeper bond, a horse that is more willing to learn, and training sessions that are enjoyable and enriching for both horse and handler.
“You can never rely on a horse that is educated by fear. There will always be something that he fears more than you. But, when he trusts you, he will ask you, what to do when he is afraid.”
-Antoine de Pluvinel
