Behaviour Problems
What is a horse behaviour problem?
Any aspect of your horse’s behaviour which you feel is undesirable, whether it is unsafe, causing distress to your horse or of concern to you, is a behaviour issue.
Some of these could include:
- Handling issues, such as difficulty leading, catching, grooming, picking out feet, loading, travelling, or with planting, barging or pulling away.
- Ridden problems including tacking up, mounting, spooking, napping, rearing, bucking, bolting, failure to go forward or performance related issues.
- Fears such as separation stress, inanimate objects, vehicles, traffic, veterinary or farriery procedures.
- Other difficulties including stereotypic ‘stable vices’ such as weaving, windsucking, box/fence walking, crib biting, or trauma.

By recognising and understanding the psychology and emotions in presenting behaviour we can choose the most ethical, effective and positive approach to address it. Every situation is different.
A kind and carefully considered approach will be tailored for your horse, ensuring a safe and happy outcome.
