Are you sick of traditional horse practices?
Tired of hearing "that's how we've always done it"?
Fed up of feeling disgruntled when it comes to horse care?
Looking for an ethical route to equine management ?
You're not alone! Many modern horse caregivers feel exactly like this, but we've got good news - there’s a science-backed way to change this!
Imagine feeling happy and assured knowing that your horse is not only physically well, but actively enjoying their environment. Picture a care system where your horse thrives in their surroundings, mentally fulfilled and confidently participating in their own care.
Envisage stress-free vet visits, calm farrier appointments and a horse who looks forward to engaging with you every day. Sound like a daydream? It doesn’t have to be! This event will give you the tools to make that a reality.
