We love to offer relaxed lectures and facilitate open conversations with entire barns over snacks & sweets or hit the ground running with a hands on clinic! We are here to spread information & teach - which we love to do! We suggest starting with an “introduction” lecture/clinic but topics are up to the client!

Behavior Evaluations

Info: Ready to take the next step with behaviorism and incorporate it into your work with your horse? We are pleased to offer training sessions: mounted & unmounted wherein behavior is a core component to ensure that you and your horse are being trained via contingencies that will increase desirable behaviors and decrease undesirable behaviors. Contact us to set up a session! Note: Equine Behavior Evaluation is a pre-req for this service.
How it works: 45-60 minute hands-on behavioral training with goals set by the client, mounted and/or unmounted.

Collaborations

We want to spread information as much as possible, so we are thrilled to start offering collaborations with equine professionals. Want someone to observe your horse getting shod? Want some behavioral input in a lesson? We are thrilled to do that for you!
How it works: Let us know that you are interested in setting this up and what other professional will be involved. Work with us and the other professional to schedule a date/time that works and then allow us to work together through behavioral strategies to accomplish their goal in the safest and most efficient way.
Pricing: $50/hour of collaboration
