What is this Angelica/Eva collaboration about?

Eva and Angelica share a common ground in their approach to training, and in 2021 they spent most of the summer together, spending countless hours together deep-diving into the intricate details of their training, learning more about each others’ training systems and exploring and expanding upon their own training at the same time. They discussed movement and flow, learner autonomy, feeding techniques and so much more – constantly asking “what does that look like”.

So far, their explorations have been made accessible through an array of podcasts and webinars and a very popular online course for reward based horse trainers named “Exploring Rewards” . They also do events on demand both online and in person. Scroll to the end of this page to find links to all their resources so far, and contact information to both Eva and Angelica!

Preview from Exploring Nuances – Dressage meets Husbandry

The first webinar from the Eva & Angelica collaboration was Exploring Nuances – dressage meets husbandry training, where they brought together their work from different venues and with different training goals. They demonstrate how they work with elusive constructs such as relaxation and choice in their practical training, building upon fluent foundational skills and a solid yet flexible session structure.

Eva & Angelica have also developed comprehensive online material for using food to its fullest potential in reward based horse training- an area where Angelica has built an unique system over the years, and where she and Eva complement each others perfectly in refining and teaching all possible details! Webinars on the topic of Exploring Rewards, as well as other Angelica & Eva materials, are continuously developing – see bottom of this page for currently available resources, and follow Angelica on instagram to get news, updates and plenty of free training explorations.

● If you speak Swedish/Scandinavian, we highly recommend joining KUL MED HANTERING – Eva’s paid membership group for all species in which numerous of Angelica & Eva’s discussions and explorations have been featured.

● Eva & Emelie’s (Carpe Momentum’s) material, especially on Seamlessness from one reward to the next is a well integrated background feature in Angelicas reward based horse training, and of course also in Angelicas & Evas joint explorations.
