The bottom line is that I believe using the “science” tag is nothing more than a marketing strategy. As a person trained in the rigorous sciences, it bothers me to see something as beautiful as good science exploited in this way. Despite the nice idea of using methods backed by scientific data, in reality, nothing changes for the horse or the trainer or the owner. Good trainers will still be good and bad trainers will still be bad irrespective of the science behind their methods

Separation Anxiety - A Measure of Our Relationship
Separation anxiety is not a problem that needs fixing. It’s the relationship that needs fixing. It’s the trust and confidence in being with us that needs fixing. Any approach that does not include building trust and confidence in us and eventually in the horse itself is a bandaid, not a solution. Separation anxiety is an important metric we can use to gauge our relationship.
