Mind matters
Are you baffled by your horse's behaviour? Our experienced horse trainers can help you understand why he does what he does!
Is my horse marking her territory?
A new mare has been introduced to the yard and my horse stops and pees at her. Is this behaviour the equine equivalent of cats’ scent marking their territory?
She's getting tricky
My six-year-old, TB, ex-racehorse mare, is now proving to be more difficult. I like to long-rein her which she accepted in the beginning, but now she has started to rear, go backwards and spin around. What do think has caused the change?
He's a bully-boy
At times, my nine-year-old daughter’s pony, who’s five, bullies her by swinging round and biting her. And when she rides him, he can be nappy. What can we do about his inconsistent behaviour?
He's playing mind games
Q: When I lead my five-year-old gelding he charges off and when ridden, he drops his head bucks. Everything seems like a big game to him, but I'm beginning to lose my confidence. Please can you help me?
Puddle panic
Q: My Kladrubian mare refuses point-blank to step into any little pool of water that forms in our outdoor school, no matter how shallow and small it is. What can I do to help her get over this?
Grief-stricken
Q: I lost my pony about 10 months ago and I'm still finding it really hard to cope with my loss. Do you have any advice that might help me to get over it please?
