“So, you want to own a
horse?”
3-day course
I
was inspired to offer this course having met so many people who bought horses and it quickly became apparent to them
that they had not a clue what to do but had just meddled along as best they could. Some people assumed they would get
help from others at their yard, but often this was conflicting and in some cases downright wrong! Luckily
some got the right help in the nick of time, some had to work through a lot of problems and heartache but unfortunately others,
like one particular lady I met, acted on bad advice which in turn left her with a dangerous, angry, misunderstood horse.
She completely lost her nerve, felt she had no option but to sell her horse and has sadly given up something that was
once her passion. Goodness knows what happened to the poor horse as it is now "labelled"……..
This 3-day course is invaluable for people who want to own or look after a horse and want
to get it right from the start or you may have already bought a horse and are suddenly finding it not as easy as you thought!
This informative and detailed course covers basic Feed & Nutrition, Horse Husbandry (where and how should I keep
my horse and the pros and cons of livery packages), Correct Handling, Stable Management, Tack (what do I need and what is
fashion!), basic Horse First Aid.
