Teatime with Elsa - Episode 38

Chatting about: Is Freeze Good? or is Freeze Bad?

In this episode I talk about how I see Freeze in horses on a spectrum that can tell us a number of things about how a horse feels. If Fight/Flight/Freeze are the three responses horses have to high stress, then of the three options, freeze is actually the preferable response. How do we use that information in the process of training, understanding that Freeze is neither good nor bad, it is only better or worse than other responses.
