E8: Finding the way to cooperation with Ilenia Perissinotto

In this episode, I am talking to one of the students of my Cooperative Care Kick-Start program, Ilenia Perissinotto, about her horse Freddy and their journey to building trust and an amazing relationship through consent-based care and training. Freddy was one of those horses who started saying "no" to everything as soon as he realized he was allowed to. This is a common issue for many horses when their owners first start cooperative care training. As Ilenia found out later, for Freddy, it was a way of communicating discomfort when he finally felt safe enough to do so. Enjoy listening!
