Would you like to learn about horse behaviour, how to manage behaviour problems and find out more about horse behaviour consulting?

A better understanding of horse behaviour and the principles of consulting can help you improve your relationship with your own horse and give you the confidence to make better-informed choices about riding, handling, training and competing.

Justine will look at common behaviour problems and why they occur as well as an introduction to the principles and practice of horse behaviour consulting. The day will include presentations and real life case studies.

You will learn about:

  • common causes of horse behaviour problems

  • common behaviour problems and how to manage them

  • the horse's behavioural needs

  • equine stress and how to manage it

  • how to assess horse behaviour

  • how to assess emotional thresholds

  • the process of horse behaviour consulting

  • working with LIMA (Least Invasive, Minimally Aversive) principles

  • real-life case studies

This weekend is aimed at horse owners, students and equestrian professionals interested in learning about how to manage different behaviour problems and for those wishing to learn more about behaviour consulting.
