Equine Behaviour Courses for Horse Owners   One day courses or evening talks can be arranged for riding clubs or other groups of interested people. They are designed for horse owners but you do not need to own a horse to be welcome! The aim is to help people understand and develop good relationships with their horses, as well as how to recognise and deal with some common problems. Popular talks are listed below but the content can be tailored to suit your particular requirements.     Talk 1       Reading Equine Body Language   –Is my horse in pain or just being a pain?        Talk 2                 Equine Social Behaviour and Handling Problems - How can I get my horse to let me be in charge when it matters?   Talk 3  Recognising Behaviour Problems caused by poor Saddle fit                                                                Talk 4 Travel Problems – and top tips for Travelling Talk 5 How horses learn - practical application of this to everyday riding, schooling and handling   A popular format is an evening talk at a local pub/hotel (eg 7-9pm) which gives plenty of time for questions and answers with a break for refreshments halfway through. Socialise, swap experiences and learn at the same time!   I can do a two hour talk for £150 at venues near Edinburgh plus mileage if the venue is further than an hour's drive from Edinburgh. This gives the organiser the opportunity to use the event to raise funds through ticket sales etc.   Please contact Dr Debbie Marsden to discuss details if you wish to book a talk or arrange a course.
