Séances commentées : ne plus avoir peur d'avoir peur

*What if the real goal wasn't to eliminate fear... but to learn not to be afraid of being afraid?* This is the central theme of this video. Through Caresse's return to work after her PRP intervention, I show you how a horse can gradually regain confidence, not because it no longer feels fear, but because it learns that it is capable of moving through it. You will discover Caresse's first sessions on long reins, a true revelation for her. This tool allows her to gradually regain freedom of movement, accept contact without tension, prepare for ridden work, improve her balance, and strengthen her confidence, all while respecting her physical and emotional rhythm. For a long time, Caresse was afraid of being restricted in her movement. As soon as she felt held back, her nervous system tensed up, and it became difficult for her to think calmly. Through gradual work, respecting her tolerance threshold, she is now discovering that an emotion is simply information: she can feel anxious, stop, turn to me, regain her composure… and then move on. The fear hasn't disappeared, but it no longer overwhelms her. This is precisely what *no longer being afraid of being afraid* means to me. In this video, we also discuss the difference between desensitization, habituation, and resignation. Desensitizing doesn't mean making a horse insensitive or extinguishing its reactions. On the contrary, the goal is to reduce excessive fear through gradual exposure, while remaining below its tolerance threshold, so that it can truly change its perception of the situation and learn that it is capable of coping. Finally, I take you through a session with Caresse and Abantos, where we work on closeness and cooperation. Starting from their own initiative, they gradually learn to share the same space, to make room for each other, and to build mutual trust, until they can ride together on the same pallet. Because ultimately, the goal isn't to produce a horse that no longer reacts. It's to build a horse that remains sensitive, capable of thinking despite its emotions, of seeking solutions, and of regaining its inner security when faced with a challenge. I hope this video will give you some food for thought, whether you're a rider… or simply human. Because learning to no longer be afraid of being afraid is ultimately a journey that concerns us all. 💙 Sources: Equine Neuroscience Quebec Desensitization, Habituation, or Immersion? When Vocabulary Obscures Our Understanding of Horses https://equinad544622a3-kaihr.wordpre... __________ 💗 Who are we? Aurélia, an equine behaviorist, presents the "Domino" method with Abantos and Caresse, two horses who have both overcome adversity! Domino is no more, but the chain, and the stable that will soon open, reflect everything it was and everything it passed on... Trained by Catherine Senn, I also trained in shiatsu, hoof trimming, biomechanics, pasture management... and continue to follow the latest scientific research on the equine nervous system (a method based on managing emotions and restoring relaxation) to have a holistic approach to the horse and help you in the best possible way. There is a different way of approaching things for each horse... and for each human. That's why I don't sell you a ready-made method or exercises with clear steps that will work every time. No, I offer you the opportunity to open your intuition, your perception, your communication with the horse. To develop your interpersonal skills so that you can then find YOUR own expertise, which will be adapted to you and your horse. Nothing is universal... but what is universal are the keys I share with you to better understand your horse, work with its consent, and ultimately think like it and become one with it 🙂 Presentation:    • Pourquoi Domino ? Nouveau look de la chain...   💗 Buy my books "Opening Communication with a Withdrawn Horse?"
