    Equine Behaviour Consultations

    Equine Behaviour

    Is your horse fearful, anxious or showing stereotypic behaviours? We'll develop a plan tailored to your horse and your goals.

    Specialist support for your horse's behaviour

    Whether your horse is struggling with float anxiety, competition fears, stereotypic behaviours or aggression, our veterinary-led approach considers both the behavioural and medical factors at play to build a practical, lasting plan.

    Behavioural consults

    For all Equine behaviour problems such as :

    • Fear in specific situations such as in the horse float, at competitions
    • Anxiety (generalised, separation)
    • Aggression between horses, to other animals, or to handlers
    • Stereotypical behaviours such as weaving, pacing, wind-sucking.

    We will formulate a plan that involves environmental management, behavioural modification programs, specific training and appropriate medication if indicated.
