I love teaching my horses to yawn. I do it with the ones that tend to hold tension. What is interesting is that they are ‘real’ yawns, not just looking like a yawn, so what starts as a ‘trick’ ends up with reminding them that they can release and feel better. I have noticed that these horses end up yawning more often on their own, too. Solana (the horse in this video) historically holds tension but now will yawn and nicker and blow out much more freely during sessions. If you want to learn more

This video was a great example of yawning being used within the context of self soothing / attempting to come down from stress and I thought it could be a great educational moment.

Yawning in horses is often misunderstood—it’s not just a sign of tiredness, but a powerful way for them to release tension. After a ride, a big yawn like this can indicate physical and mental relaxation, a way of processing and letting go. Many horses instinctively suppress these natural behaviors when restricted by traditional tack. That’s why I designed the Freedom Bridle—so they can move, stretch, and release tension freely, even after work. A horse that feels good in its body performs better
