About Applied Equine Behaviour

Applied Equine Behaviour is the name given to a series of accredited courses that look at the innate behaviour of the horse and how to apply this to training.

Philosophy

The philosophy of AEB is to promote training methods that respect the horse as a sentient being.

Vision

• To provide accredited courses which are available to all through the education system.
• To see horse ownership become safer, more ethical, fun and rewarding.
• To enable people achieve their goals and get the results they want.

Aims & Objectives

When we are in the presence of a horse we are always training it in some way. We are constantly influencing how our horses respond by either encouraging or discouraging certain behaviours although we are often unaware of it.

The ultimate objective of these practical courses is to teach a deeper level of understanding about the factors that influence equine behaviour and help people to :-

• Understand the horses needs, how he interacts and learns.
• Communicate more effectively
• Develop leadership skills
• Improve safety
• Develop a relationship with the horse based on mutual respect and trust.
