Join us on this episode of Holistic Horseworks Talks as we delve into the importance of early detection and addressing issues in horses, starting from foalhood. April discusses her experiences working with brood mares, foals, and problem horses, highlighting the significant impact early interventions can have on a horse's overall well-being.
April emphasizes the need for diligent observation, especially in the early stages of a horse's life. She shares stories of foals encountering alignment issues due to falls or incidents in their young lives, which can affect their physical development and behavior. By providing gentle bodywork, environmental training, and imprinting techniques, April has witnessed remarkable transformations in foals, resulting in well-behaved, personable, and trainable horses.
April also touches on the importance of environmental training, starting as early as possible, to familiarize horses with different stimuli making them easier to work with throughout their lives and creating a strong bond between horse and handler.
