In-Person - Is Your Horse Secretly Dysregulated?
Join Sharon Wilsie for a fascinating exploration into the hidden world of equine stress and regulation. Drawing on over 20 years of research, Sharon will reveal how horses communicate their inner state through subtle micro-gestures—and how pairing these signals with Heart Rate Variability (HRV) monitoring offers a revolutionary new way to understand equine well-being.
💡 Topics include:
• The 5 Hidden Signals of Stress in Horses
• Polyvagal Theory and the Autonomic Nervous System in Equines
• HRV as a non-invasive tool for measuring equine regulation
• Case studies, including the story of “Bo,” the gelding who transformed through co-regulation
• Implications for equine therapy, training, and welfare
This event is a must for veterinarians, trainers, equine therapy providers, and anyone seeking a deeper bond with horses through science and compassion.
