As an equine professional, it challenged my views...I hope Nicky’s approach will become more commonplace in the horse world and we can all benefit from that in a mutually supportive way.”

Sophie Pickard - Animal Therapy

I’ve owned horses most of my life, and I never realised this. Such a thought-provoking experience. I’m glad I can now understand my horses so much more clearly.

Ruth Hammond - Horse Owner

An amazing place where we can be with horses in a way I’d only dreamed of.

Mark Grant - Wildlife Photographer

Nicky Ross of Horse Play has created a wonderful online resource that is a mix of well presented science backed information about equine behaviour and practical exercises. I would recommend it for anybody who would like to find out more about what we actually know about horses, their behaviour, their experiences and their interactions with humans - it's clear and well explained, so would be interesting to someone new to learning about horses as well as people with years of experience with horses who would like to add to their knowledge of behaviour.

Dorothy Heffernan - Equine Behaviourist

I wish I'd had this course last year, it would have saved me a fortune in vets bills. Now I have all the information I need to make the right decisions for my horses. Thank you Nicky, it's just what I've been looking for. Sarah and Benny
