Full Introductory day to Equine Behaviour
Organise a day for 10 people and get the 11th place for FREE
This full day course is designed to help anyone involved with horses to have a greater understanding of the equine and they way they think, using safe, effective and humane training techniques. The day is therefore open to anyone. Participants of the courses vary from single horse owners or people thinking about getting a horse to the professional involved in training, breeding, competition at a introductory or high level, Equine Practitioners or anyone involved with horses in any professional capacity. Groups can be of mixed levels of experience and knowledge.
During the introductory day you will learn:
- Key signs and signals of equine body language indicating Tension or Confidence.
- How no one training programme fixes all.
- How horses interpret human body language which can send the wrong or mixed messages. This creates confusion which can subsequently cause the misbehaviour to escalate.
- Exercises for horses that are Socially Dominant (bossy or cheeky) which the horse understands in their language not ours, therefore kind and removing the element of confusion.
- Insight into training techniques in correct situations therefore remaining safe, effective and humane.
If you have any videos of behaviour you would like to view on the day this can be arranged. *Provided the necessary technology is available.
The day usually starts at 10am with a short tea break morning and afternoon with around an hour for lunch, finishing around 4pm. It is advisable to bring writing materials to take notes throughout the day if you wish.
