Teatime with Elsa - Episode 55

Chatting about: Companionship at different energy levels…

In this episode I talk about how stress affects relationships and how companionship affects the functionality and enjoyment of stress. We know that stress affects the relationship positively if our horse’s friends still want to be with them after the interaction, and it affects the relationship negatively if their friends leave them after the interaction. I look at the advantages and disadvantages to having high or low stress in the relationship and how it affects horses’ relationships with each other, and their relationship with us.
