UNDERSTAND YOUR HORSE – AN INTRODUCTION TO HORSE BEHAVIOUR

  • Hampshire Rural Business Centre, Sparsholt College, Sparsholt, Hampshire. SO21 2NF (map)

Would you like to understand why your horse behaves the way he does?

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.

This talk has been approved by the BHS as 2 CPD points for Accredited Professional Coaches. Approval for PCUK CPD and IAABC CEUs has been applied for. Please email Justine if you would like a CPD attendance certificate.
