KB Equine

KB Equine Equine Behaviourist I work with horses who are behaving negatively in our environment. This can be achieved at your horses home.

This has includes:-

• Loading issues
• Horses that will not settle in a stable
• Catching issues
• Lack of manners on the ground

I have also rehabilitated horses following injury, to include:-

• In hand work in school and hacking
• Lunging
• Long reining

I work alongside owners to help with any behaviour that is deemed inappropriate. I can also accommodate horses at our yard should that suit.

My approach is first and foremost, watching them and picking up on their body language. A horse never explodes without showing subtle signs of discomfort before the explosion. It’s about picking up on those subtle signs and removing the need to explode. Horses get confidence from a confident owner, they like having a leader. We all want our horses to be happy and relaxed, but sometimes they struggle with their environment. I offer an initial assessment, when I can observe your horse and identify problem areas and help to provide solutions. You will receive a recommended plan that you can follow and build a relationship with your horse. This can include feeding, in hand work, ridden work, stretches or environment changes. It will also include any referrals to other practitioners who could help your horses wellbeing. Following the initial assessment telephone support is provided along with further visits as and when you need them. All work is carried out with a money-back guarantee. Prior to the assessment your aims will be discussed and if that goal is not met you won’t be charged.

I hope one day you meet a difficult horse.

A horse that frustrates you and sometimes says no.

A horse that shatters your dreams and makes you feel hopeless because you cannot solve their problem with what you know.

Why would I wish this upon you?

Because this horse will show you the limitations of your understanding and challenge you to step up and learn.

Sometimes the lessons you will need to learn is to improve your knowledge, skills and self awareness and how you directly impact the horse and make the feel.

You will work hard spending hours in the dust, sun, wind and rain making yourself better to help this horse - and you will do it.

Sometimes the lesson will be one of acceptance that the horse you love and have poured so much time and money into is not sound.

Your heart will break as you now see your difficult horse was just telling you it was struggling.

This horse will teach you to see and know things about horses that you will never be able to un-see or un-know. You will see horses struggling and people (no different than you past self) blind to that struggle.

But this horse will make you a better horsewoman or man, and you will be grateful they came into your life and what they taught you.

The story of you and this horse will always be a hard story to tell. Sometimes when you tell it, you will get tears in your eyes. But it will be one of the most meaningful stories of your life.

You will share this story with others with the hope that it will help them with their horse. So that your horse, can help their horse too.

This is my difficult horse. His name was Skuda and I am grateful what this horse taught me...and if I have helped you with your horse.....well you can be grateful for him too ❤

A call from an owner who couldn’t get her mare near a mounting block to get on. This mare had reared and gone over backwards with the owner. This end result is not the ideal way to mount, and a further visit would be needed to extend the education to standing whilst we get on but the session had lasted over 2 hours and mentally the mare couldn’t deal with anymore, It was a massive step for to allow me on her back and if you have eagle eyes you will see that she doesn’t have a bridle on but a dually headcollar as she was uncomfortable in a bitted bridle. The important bit in the video is the horses head height. At the start her head is very high and she is reactive to everything around her. As her confidence grows on the groundwork her head lowers and she listens to what is being asked.
No whips involved.

A client has asked for help in dealing with her 2 youngsters, both fillies a 1 yr old and 3 yr old. Both have lived in a herd and haven’t received much human contact. I shall be working with them on a weekly basis to increase there confidence in humans. Neither of them have been into the stable since arriving so after working with Sunday the 3yr old in the field I decided to give the stable a go. The video is of the owner walking Sunday into the stable, calmly and respectfully. A very different experience to how the previous owners loaded them into the trailer with whips and shouting to get them to their new home.

Who doesn’t love a grey thoroughbred?
Pippa is an ex racer. She has recently been purchased and her new owner was doubting her ability. We are regularly working on leadership skills, whilst also retraining Pippa for a riding horse life. Pippa is a people pleaser and just needs the right information to be able to please her very accommodating new owner. Lots of people would have said her owner was over horsed, or that Pippa was dangerous. In truth her owner has gone above and beyond to become the owner that Pippa needs. Hats off to her, she will be rewarded with an amazing horse who will be confident in her mum, which will enable Pippa to be a relaxed and happy horse.
This video is of Pippa and her owner working together⭐️

Trish always struggled to load, particularly when at shows to come home. We worked with her owner to create a positive mindset with a black and white attitude, with loading being the only option.

Here is a video of my boy “Socks” he’s a 6 yr old thoroughbred who the vets couldn’t keep sound and ran out of insurance money. He has had many surgical interventions. Positives are he is the kindest, loyal boy who puts a smile on my face most days. Negatives are he is a bit of a cut and shut horse, left hand side does not correspond with his right 🙈and never will due to his club foot. However nobody is perfect and he hacks out daily with my dogs and show jumps for fun and more importantly we know each other inside out and make each other smile and for me that’s what it’s about.
Currently his tummy is larger than it should be and due to this our top line has suffered, however he still knows how to please.
Apologies for the length of the video 🙈

I saw a cracking pony yesterday. Bear. He had decided he knew best and flat refused to load. He had lots of excuses and used them all to make sure he wasn’t going on the lorry. By the end of the session even his jockey was able to load him.

Jimmy:- hesitant to load and once onboard would spin and come off. Before and after my groundwork session. Such a lovely sought after horse. ⭐️
