See the world through the ponies’ eyes with our practical Equine Behaviour workshops. We run regular sessions for equine carers, professionals, vets, young adults and pony club, here on our lovely farm in Ardnamurchan.

With the introduction of the Sentient Beings Act in 2021, resent scientific research and a growing interest regarding a social license to operate in the horse world, it has never been more important for accurate, up to date knowledge of equine behavioural science to be readily available.

We offer 2 hour introductions, 1 day, 2 day and 3 day courses. These clinics delve into the natural lives of horses, horse centred management, care and training and explore how we can give our horses control, challenge and choice in their lives.

Discover how to enhance the welfare of our equine friends, moving from a daily care to a life worth living.

Training With Consideration

Positive reinforcement (clicker training) involves training animals by setting up the behaviour so that they can easily understand what is asked for, then marking and rewarding the behaviour. It is a powerful tool in teaching our ponies in a force free and ethical way.

Learn how to safely introduce and develop positive reinforcement with our ponies and take away this transferable knowledge to try with your own animals (or family!).
