Equiosity Episode 299: Christa Culbert Pt 1: Celebrations and Teaching Children

I’ve just published the newest book in the Kenyon Bear series of children’s book, Kenyon Bear’s Christmas. This week we’re talking with the illustrator, Christa Culbert. In case you’re wondering what this has to do with horses, the answer is everything!

In this week’s podcast we talk with Christa about art, animals, imagination, clicker training, and teaching children about horses.

Christa starts us off by saying art is about perceiving the world in a new way. Isn’t that what we are doing with clicker training? We are perceiving training and our relationships with horses in new ways.

Christa talks about the programs she has developed to bring horses and children together. It is about so much more than simply teaching them to ride.

So join us in the celebration of the new book, Kenyon Bear’s Christmas, and enjoy a wide ranging conversation about horses, imagination, working with children, entitlement, boundaries, and the convergence between what we’re discovering through science and what we knew as children about our animal friends.

I have a new post for JOYFULL Horses. This one is packed with photos. I’m looking in detail at the “runway lesson. That’s the lesson I use to introduce horses to the mat. The runway lesson illustrates many important concepts. For many the Premack principle is just an intellectual exercise. The runway lesson turns it into a practical application. You’ll see what it means to be a positive, constructional trainer; how to release your learner into the behavior you want; how to layer the cues from your lead together with your marker signal to create clear communication. In the photos I point out many handling details that make a huge difference to our horses. It’s a post that is packed. Enjoy!
