Develop a deep understanding of equine behaviour and practical skills to build trust, ensure safety, and promote horse welfare in many handling and training situations.
The Certificate of Horse Behaviour and Training is a professional development course that provides the skills and knowledge to understand and manage horse behaviour.
In this horse behaviour and training course, you will learn how instincts, perception, and experience shape responses, and interpret body language, vocal cues, and herd dynamics to better read equine communication. You will also develop practical handling techniques, including safe catching, leading, and desensitisation.
You will explore reward-based and pressure-based training methods, build trust through groundwork, and teach essential ground manners for calm, confident horses. You will also learn about behaviours such as spooking, biting, and resistance, along with welfare-focused solutions to address them.
On completion of this course, you will feel confident to handle and train horses in real-world situations.
Printed learning materials may be available free to print for this course. Requests can be made by contacting us.
