Emotions and Solutions
Conference held at the Health Forum of the Bordeaux International Jumping 2026
Throughout our lives as riders, we've learned to adjust to our horse's emotions, and in a way, to manage and channel them, because our classical equestrian training teaches us to "ride" horses. But have you learned anywhere how to "regulate" emotions? How to truly help your horse feel better, right now, this very instant?
I'm not talking about miracle cures or magic wands, but about accurate reading, understanding the horse's point of view, and above all, becoming capable of meeting its mental and emotional needs. The horse is a mammal with a brain, neurons, and hormones, and all these elements function in it just as they do in humans, except that it doesn't perceive its world, "our world," in the same way we do, and for it, hundreds of situations become a matter of survival, always from its perspective.
Your horse, just like you, can experience anger, fear, anxiety, argument, nervousness, or even phobias and panic! It's possible to help him in these situations, not just by trying to manage or control him, but by calming him down!
In your daily training sessions, whether during learning phases or peak performance, at home or in competition, it's possible to accurately detect your horse's mental and emotional state. This richly illustrated presentation, based on practical and scientific data, will teach you how to decode the subtle signals that reveal optimal psychological and physical balance. Beyond simple observation, you'll discover how to integrate these indicators into your training, which ones to consider in real time, and which ones to analyze in photos and videos after a session, all to foster a happy, motivated, and high-performing horse in the long term.
It's not just about technical skills; it's about fully integrating equine psychology into every interaction to build a relationship based on respect and lasting harmony. Because every detail matters, and reminds us that if simply having hay, a herd, and freedom of movement were enough to create a happy horse and rider, we'd see many more happy horses in the arenas!
Now it's up to you to take control of your relationship with your horse. You'll never look at him the same way again…
