Horse Behaviour

KodaInBucket

Horse behaviour is something many of us strive to understand. 
A good knowledge of equine ethology is a great place to start – know who a horse really is, and what their nature programs them to do.

From there we can understand why a horse behaves in a certain way, and then look at what is causing the behaviour.

This will help us structure a training program or change their environment to help the horse and human work (and play) together in a way that benefits both.
