MOTIVATIONAL
RESPONSE TRAINING
THERE IS A BETTER WAY!
A FEAR AND STRESS FREE METHOD OF TRAINING AND SCHOOLING HORSES ENSURING
CONTINUOUS POSITIVE RESULTS.
Greg Barrington has spent a lifetime around horses and, through
his experiences, he has developed a unique, fear and stress free
way of working with and training horses. His method works with horses
of all ages and breeds whether they need remedial help to overcome
fears, abuse or bad habits; re-training to correct schooling problems
or to fill in the blanks when hasty schooling or training has left
out some of the crucial building blocks of knowledge.
Greg grew up in Cape Breton and his Grandfather, a blacksmith, would
hoist him onto horses who needed to be calmed down during shoeing.
Greg would rub the horses on their withers on necks and, in doing
so, relaxed them. As Greg grew up, his interest and knowledge expanded
and he studied books on horse science, equine behaviour and veterinary
science. With this information and, after witnessing many harsh
and cruel methods of training, he knew that there had to be a better
way.
Greg has been featured on TV; in countless newspaper features and
he presently writes for horse sport publications and a major website
about his methods. A TV series is also in the works.
THERE IS A BETTER WAY
There is nothing mystical or magical about Greg's method; in fact
its simplicity and noticeable benefits both during and after a session
make it the obvious choice for horse owners and trainers.
It is a known fact that stress inhibits the ability to learn and
take in information in both humans and animals therefore, Greg's
methods are obvious and simple: Create a pleasant, stress free learning
atmosphere where education is interesting and the mind is open and
receptive to learning.
Reward for a positive response, no matter how small, to create a
positive ‘feel good' experience and the end result being a horse
who looks forward to his next session.
GREG'S METHOD USES FOUR BASIC PRINCIPLES:
Motivation
Stimulus
Response
Reward
GREG'S STRESS FREE METHOD WORKS ON:
• Starting horses
• Western or English trained horses no matter what discipline
• Horses of all ages and breeds Green and unbroken horses
• Horses needing corrective training for behavioural problems
( moving when mounted, running away, shying, head shyness etc)
• Horses needing training to overcome fears ( ie: fear of water,
fear of trailers and loading, fear of objects, fear of people)
• Horses requiring remedial schooling when some of the basics
or building blocks have been left out
