Realised I have not updated this page since last year! Plenty of horses and ponies keeping me busy - starting, producing, and behavioural problem solving! I'll need to start writing a book with all the various issues I have come across - from lameness, to stomach ulcers, mouth ulcers/fractured teeth etc - all with varying symptoms, but 'bad behaviour' or avoidance behaviour (rushing, bolting, napping, favouring one rein over the other) being a common denominator!
One thing is for sure, there is always more to learn! 🐴

I currently have some availability for schooling, backing, behavioural problem solving, competition, etc. Travel around the Co. Down area weekly, or alternatively have livery space available 🐴
