Motivation, energy and flow with Dr Gillian Tabor

🐴 Can Horses Experience "Flow" During Training? 🤔


Ever wondered if we could make rehab and training more enjoyable for our equine partners?

Research by Hintze & Yee (2022) asks: "Can we provide animals with the same access to a sense of enjoyment that we as humans value so much?"

🔑 Key Points:

  • Effective rehab/training requires intensity for adaptation
  • What if horses could be happy increasing effort?
  • Could horses experience a 'flow state' during work?


Dr Giliian Tabor has been diving into human psychological theories of motivation, particularly Self-determination theory by Ryan and Deci. It's fascinating to consider how these concepts might apply to our horses!

What are your thoughts? Can we make training more intrinsically rewarding for horses?
