Behaviour Consultations
These are very detailed and done with a hollistic approach. The horses environment, management and diet will all be looked at. Often some simple changes in husbandary can have a huge impact on behaviour.
Before the consultation I will contact your own vet for the horses history. This is very important as veterinary issues can often cause changes in behaviour. As a vet I will also look at your horse and if I feel their are any veterinary issues that need addressing I will refer you back to your own vet. Once you decide to book a consultation with me both you and your vet will need to fill in a form.
Any behavioural issue, however big or small can be looked at. Some issues can be resolved quickly and may only need one session. Others may take significant time and retraining.
Initial Behaviour Consultations (in person) include;
Initial short (free) phone conversation to discuss your horses needs and see how I can help. You can send me a short video prior to this to show your horses issues (this is optional).
