Saturday 6th December 2025 - 1pm-5pm - Cooperative care and needle shyness workshop
Is your horse terrified of needles? Perhaps you are struggling with a different veterinary or husbandry intervention like problems with foot handling or giving medication?
Did you know that these behaviours can be an indicator of an underlying problem, including pain? Fear and fear of pain are often added on top.
My approach seeks to deeply understand and compassionately overcome needle shyness and other fears by addressing the deep rooted causes and teaching a cooperative care approach, preparing the horse for all the steps in the process in a way that enables them to be an active participant.
On this workshop, learn about the deep rooted causes and about how to train cooperative care behaviours - where we can help the horse to feel safe and understand the process.
Learn about how to train using food without inducing frustration or conflict over the food.
