UNDERSTAND YOUR HORSE – AN INTRODUCTION TO HORSE BEHAVIOUR

  • Moulton College, Pitsford Road, Northampton NN3 7QL (map)

Would you like to understand why horses behave the way they do?

A better understanding of horse behaviour 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.

You will learn:

  • different aspects of horse behaviour (including play, sleep, social life, eating, drinking, movement etc)

  • the horse's behavioural needs

  • tips to improve your horse’s behaviour and reduce stress

  • common reasons why some behaviour problems occur and how to avoid them

This evening talk is aimed at horse owners, students and equestrian professionals interested in learning more about horse behaviour.

CPD / CEU for BHS, PCUK and IAABC is pending. Please email Justine if you would like a CPD attendance certificate.
