Would you like to learn how best to train your horse?
Horse owners are constantly bombarded with marketing messages from a wide variety of horse trainers promoting their ‘method’ of training horses. But how can you assess whether these methods are effective or suitable for you and your horse?
Equine behaviourist & trainer Justine Harrison will guide you through this minefield by teaching you the science of how horses learn so that you can make informed decisions for yourself.
You will benefit from an improved understanding of how your own horse learns and how to teach your horse using effective handling and training techniques.
You will learn about:
Learning Theory – the science of how horses learn
The effects different training methods have on the horse
How to create the best environment for your horse to learn
How to assess your horse’s emotional thresholds
What makes a great trainer
When to stop training
How to create a tailored training plan for your horse.
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.
