19 | How To Make Sure It Doesn't Become All About The Treats! [THE ESSENCE OF LIBERTY PODCAST]

Is your horse becoming hyper-fixated on food rewards? Do you ever worry liberty training might turn into nothing more than “cookie training”?

In this episode of The Essence of Liberty Podcast, Dr. Nadine Lindblom (former equine veterinarian) shares how to prevent your training from becoming all about the food. You’ll learn:

Why balance between connection time and training time matters.

How to use lower-value rewards to reduce food obsession.

The importance of clear start and end signals to keep sessions structured.

These strategies will help you keep food as a motivator, not a distraction — so your horse sees you as more than a pocket full of treats, and your relationship grows deeper, more trusting, and more joyful.
