Horse Behavior and Equine Consulting

Mare and gelding sharing a moment of affection, comfort. Pair bonding. Touching heads.
  • No, we don’t train horses directly. We work with people to better understand their horse’s behavior, body language, environment and emotional well-being. We often collaborate with trainers to support horses as they learn a new job or settle into training.

  • We work with anyone who lives, rides, or works with horses. That includes people caring for a single companion horse, competitive riders, barn managers, handlers and other equine professionals. If you're looking for science-based horse behavior support or want to improve your relationship with your horse, we’d love to help.

  • We begin by learning about your horse’s full life: how they spend their time, what they eat, what they enjoy and what stresses them. We review veterinary history, farrier and training notes and may ask for videos or schedule an in-person visit. From there, we explore the root of the behavior and offer practical steps to support your horse’s needs.

  • We help with a wide range of horse behavior concerns, including:
    • Behaviors that feel unsafe or confusing
    • Signs of pain, stress or tension
    • Anxiety, shutdown or difficulty settling
    • Handling or riding that feels harder than expected
    • Environmental factors affecting behavior
    • Changes in routine or new environments
    • Introducing young horses to the world
    • Behavioral ‘Pre-purchase’ assessments for adoption or rehoming

  • Both. Many horse behavioral patterns can be understood and addressed through virtual sessions, video analysis and detailed conversation. For more hands-on cases, we can arrange in-person visits depending on your location.

  • No, we don’t diagnose or treat medical conditions. Our role is to help identify how behavior, well-being and environment connect. We often work closely with your veterinarian, trainer, or farrier and consult our in-house vets when needed.

  • We’re educators first. We don’t just offer quick fixes, we help you build the knowledge and confidence to understand your horse, ask better questions and make informed decisions every day. Our approach is grounded in equine science, empathy, and experience.
