Statement of Attainment

Equine Behaviour

What is the Purpose of Animal Behaviour? It is assumed that all animal behaviour is an adaptation designed to support survival, either directly or indirectly. However, this is not always the case. Animals can behave self-destructively, out of habit, or out of boredom, just as humans can. To better understand the behaviour, we should also consider what motivates it. The study of equine behaviour provides a foundation for more sensitive and informed care and training of horses, and can help you understand your horse's behaviour, and work more effectively with its inherent nature.

Courses Direct

Horse Care Advanced (III)

Manage the health and condition of horses in different situations. Learn to identify signs of poor condition and ill health, and address the problems appropriately. Understand the things that can stress a horse and increase susceptibility to problems. Learn how to manage situations to minimise risk factors. The course has been designed to complement Horse Care I and Horse Care II – but can be studied as a “stand alone” subject.

Courses Direct

Horse Care Basics (I)

Learn about horse psychology and handling, evaluate conformation, understand the importance of dietary requirements to the horse, learn about the horses digestive system and the principles of feeding and watering your horse, use correct grooming procedures, develop appropriate management procedures and broaden existing knowledge of commercial opportunities in the horse world. Manage horses kept on pasture and learn relevant pasture management techniques to maintain productivity and prevent "horse sick" pastures.

Courses Direct

Horse Care Intermediate (II)

FEEDING, HOOF CARE, CONDITIONING AND STABLING This course follows on from Horse Care I. While this course is relevant to horses at grass, it does focus heavily upon care of the stabled horse. The course covers feeding, stabling, food care, bedding, tack and conditioning of the horse. This is a stand alone course and may be taken without Horse Care I
