The Influence of our Attachment Style on Horse-Human Interactions
Wednesday, June 10, 2026 at Noon (ET)
Kate Naylor, LMFT
Kathleen Choe, LPC-S
The topic of attachment styles has become increasingly popular on social media. We are told that we can answer a few simple questions in order to determine our style, thus opening the door to a new realm of insight into improving our relationships. In reality, our attachment patterns are more nuanced and variable, occurring on a spectrum rather than presenting as a fixed trait. In this webinar, we will explore the four main attachment styles, how they develop, and how they might influence the way we approach our interactions with both humans and horses. Developing awareness and insight into our specific styles of relating opens up rich opportunities for positive growth and change that can benefit our connection with our selves as well as our human and equine friends!

HHRF believes that it is essential to the quality of the research done, that we need to go beyond “do no harm” to maximizing the well-being of the equines, respecting international cultures.
