Our next EBA webinar is coming soon!

Join Venya Bonebakker for a thought-provoking webinar exploring how everyday management shapes the mental and emotional lives of equines in our care. Ever wondered how your horse really feels? Does their routine truly suit them - and how can we know? This session will explore what ‘care’ can mean, and how it’s often shaped by our own biases, perspectives, and expectations. You’ll walk away with simple, practical ways to improve your horse’s well-being by enriching their environment, rethinking routines, and reducing unnecessary stress.

Venya is EBA registred Equine Psychology Specialist. Living in Slovakia with 7 horses and helping owners to see their horses in a new light.

Horse talk...

Would you like an hour of someone's undivided attention, listening to you talking about your horse?

Or, would you like to help the Equine Behaviour Affiliation training new equine psychology specialists?

If either or both appeal, send me a message, or email me at [email protected].

Meetings would be online over zoom, and the only requirement is that there is some aspect of your horse's life you would like to discuss - it could be a concern when riding or handling, or about how they socialise with other horses or your relationship with them.; how to enrich their environment or practical ways to meet their well-being needs, tailored to you. Maybe you would like to understand their reactions and behaviour better.

If this appeals, get in touch - it'll be hugely appreciated!
