The course is designed for all
equestrians, including both horse owners and professionals. It addresses the
prevalence of neurological issues in horses, which are often overlooked and can
lead to serious health implications. It is important for APC’s as they could be
the first to spot a potential issue when teaching so they can make informed
decisions and any veterinary referrals where necessary. The course focuses on
the equine nervous system, the science behind the nervous system and common
disorders. Participants will learn how to initially evaluate neurological
soundness in horses using a practical 10-Point Dynamic Assessment Checklist.
This checklist is supplemented with a video assessment that guides users on what
to do if they suspect a neurological issue in a horse. Additionally, the course
delves into how horses perceive pain, particularly chronic or persistent pain.
The course discusses neurological grading scales and how to interpret.
Furthermore, it provides insights into diagnostic tools the vet may use and
discusses treatment options available for affected horses and how to monitor
neurological conditions.

Horse behaviour problems are a common complaint of both horse owners and equine veterinarians.

Specific issues in horses are best addressed by qualified experts. However, while most people know to contact a veterinarian when their horse is ill or lame, some uncertainty still remains about where people should turn when a horse has a behaviour problem.

To complicate matters, hiring an unqualified professional can result in worsening of existing problems or even the creation of new problems. How are horse owners or referring veterinarians to know which professional is the most appropriate one to hire in these situations?

In this webinar recording, equine behaviour consultants Justine Harrison and Lauren Fraser discuss different aspects of horse behaviour consulting, and what people should know before hiring or referring to a professional to address horse behaviour problems.

It will cover topics such as:

• An introduction to the profession of horse behaviour consultant

• The education and experience required

• Different models of behaviour consulting

• The role of veterinary referral in a consultant’s work

• The consultation process

• How consultants determine why the problem behaviour is occurring

• Common horse behaviour problems

• Behaviour modification techniques

• Training techniques to be avoided

After the presentation, Justine and Lauren answered questions from the audience.

This presentation is for horse owners, equine veterinarians and other paraprofessionals who work in the equine industry. It will also be useful for anyone considering a career in horse behaviour consulting.

Horses Behaving Badly? - 1 CPD point

Horses with behaviour problems often end up in rescue, pass through the hands of numerous owners, or are sold at auctions where they may be purchased for meat.  The horse's behaviour is also a commonly cited reason for people to seek emergency medical treatment each year. When owners and trainers have an understanding of both normal and 'abnormal' behavioural development in horses it can help mitigate such issues, while also improving horse welfare.

Advanced insights into equine nutrition, essential for riding coaches, other equine professionals, and horse owners, crucial for maintaining horse welfare and optimising performance and recovery, making it vital knowledge for anyone working with horses. Identifying potential nutritional deficiencies early through behaviour, physical signs and performance, allows APC’s and other professionals to address potential health issues, ensuring horses remain healthy and capable. Nutrition also impacts riding lessons. An undernourished horse may be lethargic, while one with excess energy from improper feeding can become hyperactive, leading to unsafe situations. Well-nourished horses have better muscle condition and strength, reducing injury risk. Consistent energy levels, supported by proper nutrition, are essential for effective training. A well-fed horse is more alert, responsive, and capable of learning, resulting in more productive sessions for both rider and coach. APC’s often educate clients on horse care, a solid understanding of nutrition allows them to provide valuable advice, enhancing the overall client experience and building trust. Many horses suffer from incorrect diets, leading to performance issues, health problems, and shortened lifespans. This often stems from a lack of knowledge and confusion caused by misleading marketing. We provides evidence-based information to help professionals make informed dietary choices, avoiding common pitfalls such as over-supplementation. Featuring images from a recent dissection showing gastric ulcers and an intestinal tumour, with a comprehensive understanding of these issues. Upon completion, participants will have a solid grasp of equine nutrition, the digestive system, and the impact of dietary choices on a horse's performance and well-being. They will be equipped to recognise signs of both over-nourishment and under-nourishment, enabling them to make informed decisions or referrals for their clients when necessary.
