When horses are in a state of learned helplessness, they are shut down and in a form of cocoon. Over time, they have learned not to try \\u2014 to always stay within their comfort zone. Sometimes this can show in a horse as a stoic form of behavior (on the surface). The horse seems unflappable \\u2014 mostly because he isn\\u2019t entirely present. But \\u2014 once you ask him to go outside his normal routine or habits, that same horse will often become very emotional and troubled. People also can learn not to try. In this episode, I discuss the difference between a horse and a person who both displayed learned helplessness during key sessions with teachers.

At Horse Wise, I teach people tools so that they can learn how to coach themselves and their horses to progress together as a team. It\\u2019s a fun process that shows you how build a good partnership with your horse (in a practical, straightforward way).
