INTRODUCTION Katie provides an Equine Behavioural Consultancy service nationwide combining the latest in behavioural science with lifelong equine experience. Katie aims to provide a service whereby horse people can call upon her when they are experiencing problems with their relationship with their horses or if their horse is showing behaviour that they do not understand. Katie has a sympathetic, realistic approach and will work positively with the owner and the horse involved therefore, achieving a successful outcome. Katie respects the confidentiality of all concerned and follows a strict professional code of conduct at all times. Katie works by veterinary referral as well as investigating problems in the first instance for concerned horse owners. Katie believes it is an important part of the diagnostic procedure to rule out a learnt misbehaviour and get to the cause of the problem. This saves a lot of time and money in the long run and often means that a horse is on the road to recovery much sooner and can be referred back to a vet, physiotherapist etc if signs of pain and tension are found so that this can be investigated further and treated. TUITION COURSES & LECTURES NEWS & EVENTS Katie teaches some private lessons in Warwickshire, the West midlands and Northampton and teaches a variety of riders ranging from complete beginners right through to BHS exam trainees.
