Ep. 72 Lynn Acton, "What Horses Really Want"

Let us know how we're doing. Please understand that we can't reply or see your info.Lynn Acton has been certified by CHA (Advanced English / Intermediate Western) since 1994. In addition to conventional lessons, she founded and taught for several years in a therapeutic horsemanship program for at-risk youth that got national recognition. Her diverse interests led her to lessons in jumping, classical dressage, western, Centered Riding, ground work, natural horsemanship, dressage musical freestyle, obstacle training, and clicker training. She's learned from three of Sally Swift’s Centered Riding apprentices who expanded on her work: Wendy Murdoch, Susan Harris, and Mitzi Summers. Lynn's current focus is horse behavior, emotions, and learning. Applying her academic background in sociology and systems science, and teaching experience, she translates current research into practical application. Herwork is unique in that she integrates insights from diverse sources, showing how they complement each other, and can guide all of us in improving horse welfare, and the quality and effectiveness of our interactions with horses.Lynn and I discuss many topics in this podcast. We get into dominance theory, her brand of protector leadership, her experiences that have informed her theories, and much more. I have read and recommend Lynn's book, "What Horses Really Want". It offers her perspectives on how things should go, with many examples and quite helpful pictures that illustrate her points.You can find Lynn at the following links:https://www.lynnacton.com/https://www.facebook.com/lynn.acton.94https://www.lynnacton.com/Bookhttps://www.youtube.com/@jerryacton5825/videos
