Great Escape Mustangs Guest Speaker Series

2nd Wednesday of Every Month at 5pm MST

LIVE ON ZOOM

Getting Your Horse to Catch You

A Science-Based Approach to Safety, Curiosity, and Connection

Guest Speaker:

WEST TAYLOR

Founder, Science-Based Horsemanship

Creator of The Mustang Project

Description:

In this live educational session, West will break down the science behind why horses become difficult to catch and how subtle nervous system cues shape their behavior. Using real-world mustang examples, he will demonstrate how approach pressure, space, timing, and regulation influence a horse’s decision to stay or leave.

Participants will learn how to:

• Recognize early signs of caution and avoidance

• Adjust their approach to reduce flight responses

• Use space and timing to create clarity

• Build an environment where the horse chooses connection

This will be practical, applicable, and grounded in real science — not theory. We’ll also leave time for live Q&A.
