Personality 

Every horse has it’s own personality. 

The personality of the horse is an authentic combination of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual patterns.

Some components of a horse’s personality are:

• Openness to experience (inventive/curious/creative/preference for novelty and variety vs conventional/consistent/cautious)
• Extroversion (extravert/assertive/energetic vs introvert/reserved/quiet)
• Agreeableness (friendly/cooperative/willing vs suspicious/antagonistic/unwilling towards others)
• Emotional stability (calm/secure/confident/relaxed most of the time/rarely upset vs sensitive/easily disturbed/stressed out easily/nervous/angry/anxious).
• Temperament (hot/cold/ or warm-blood and low/medium/or high spirited).

Straightness Training is all about helping our horse flourish his personality, to get balanced on all levels – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually – and to become the best they can be!
