Podcast appearances and mentions of Robert M Miller

For our Feb Q & A, Daniel answers a couple of questions from our Facebook Group, "Bits, Spurs, and Good Sense". We talk about the hackamore vs the snaffle and refute a couple of criticisms about Dr. Robert M. Miller's Foal Imprinting ideas with the importance of context. Daniel answers another question about a book on the horse's brain which leads us down a rabbit hole. He gets deep into what Science and the Scientific Method is. He talks about some personal experiences he's had with the people behind the research and how their experiences, or lack of experiences can affect the outcomes. He gets neck deep into Associative Learning Theory and it's children, Classical and Operant Conditioning. He'll talk about some real world examples of each and the practical side of things. He'll pay special attention to positive reinforcement also. In the final segment, he talks about what debunking a long standing scientific theory really would entail and if that standard really is met when people like to say things have been debunked. He finishes by giving some tips on these scientific studies and looking up the research for yourself. He'll tell you some places to find this type of research, how to critically analyze it when you find it, and some common flaws to look for that may nullify what you're reading and waste your time. If you're interested in the science of behavioral conditioning, this one's for you.https://www.dauphinhorsemanship.com/mercantilehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/795178083941287https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_v9LuvYmU0

One of the great things about starting this podcast, besides the sponsors, is that it causes me to reach out to people that I never would have engaged otherwise. Dr. Miller is a pioneer. He had a successful career as a mixed practice veterinarian. He very generously tells us  the story of his life, including meeting his wife and the fortuitous trip that lead them to the place they'd set up their lives. We talked about the origination of his Foal Imprint Training and how he goes about it. He also talks about a few things that people tend to get wrong about imprinting.Within the equine community, Dr. Miller is a well known cartoonist/humorist also. A prolific author, he's written a couple of dozen books, ranging from collections of his drawings to non-fiction on imprint training and equine behavior. He has toured the world speaking and teaching about horses, mules, and horsemanship. He's also the co-founder of the concept and clinics behind Light Hands Horsemanship.On a personal note Dr. Miller is an incredibly generous and humble man. I was blown away by how approachable he is and how generous he was with his time. At nearly 95 years young, I was worried that he might tire and was very conscious of how much of their time I was getting. He's as lucid as you or I and sharper than most by a ways. Our conversation lasted over 3 hours in total, though the latter half was more personal in nature and off the record. I would certainly be wrong if I were to talk solely about Dr. Miller and not mention his lovely young wife, Mrs. Deb. She sat beside him the whole time and added in her own recollections throughout. Though we were conversing via computer, I felt like I was right there in their kitchen having coffee and biscuits and a candid chat about their lives, and they had no idea how legendary a figure he is.
