HORSE BEHAVIOUR
HORSE BEHAVIOUR PROBLEMS
When horses have behaviour problems they often act in ways which are frustrating, inconvenient, or even dangerous. Lauren can help with a wide range of horse behaviour problems, such as:
-
Aggression - biting, kicking, striking at humans or other horses, aggression around resources such as food, water troughs, spaces
-
Anxiety and fears - 'herd bound', general anxiety, fears about specific stimuli (needles, farrier, trailer loading, clippers, fly spray etc.), spookiness
-
Repetitive behaviours - cribbing, wind-sucking, weaving, stall walking, wood chewing, self-mutilation
-
Under saddle issues - bucking, rearing, bolting, jump refusal, spookiness, refusal to go forward, laying down when ridden, unresponsiveness to cues
-
In-hand issues - bolting, poor ground manners, aggression, difficult behaviour during routine care (e.g hoof handling, grooming, tacking up)
-
Management issues - aggression at feeding time, stall kicking, pulling back when tied
-
Veterinary or husbandry issues - aversion to veterinary procedures or treatment, or routine husbandry
-
Unusual behaviours - falling down when tied or standing still, depression, unresponsiveness, inappropriate sexual arousal
