Horse and donkey behavior consultations in northern Colorado
You love your equine, you just wish they did some things differently. I can help!
Let me help you transform your nightmare (or gelding) into your dream horse
Work with me to apply my scientific knowledge and experience of equine behavior to give you the tools to resolve problem behaviors with your horse or donkey.
Understanding why your equine is behaving the way they are will help you approach their issues with compassion. I will suggest management changes and apply positive reinforcement training to teach your horse how to think differently, and use scent work to open up their curiosity and confidence.
I have spent almost 2,000 hours scientifically observing horses (and donkeys!) and a lifetime working with them. This has given me a deep understanding of their natural behavior, and the experience to help solve ethological problems with your horse.

FAQs
-
I use reward-based methods and games-based concept training. These methods are force-free and focus on creating wins for both you and your horse. These methods are based on learning theory, and work with the horse rather than using fear and intimidation.
-
I am continuously learning and improving in knowledge and experience. I am confident that I can help any horse and their owner, however I won’t hesitate to recommend someone else if I feel that they would serve you better.

it is considered professionally unethical to guarantee training results as how can you guarantee the behavior of another living being? However I do guarantee that you will work with a highly credentialed instructor motivated to help you reach your training goals. I guarantee we’ll use only the most humane, modern, and scientifically proven positive reinforcement-based training methods to reach those goals. And I can guarantee that if you play the games you will deepen your relationship with your horse, and you will see improvement in the horse's behavior.
