Sarah has lived and breathed horses her whole life but she decided to study the science of equine behaviour after unknowingly buying a horse who would dangerously rear and spin. After desperately seeking advice Sarah realised that no well-known trainers nor popular methods out there could help resolve this behaviour in a kind way, nor explain WHY it was happening.
Qualifications
- BSc (Hons) in Equine Science
- Registered Equine Behaviour Consultant (SEBC), Warwickshire College
- Level 4 Equine Facilitated Practitioner Diploma
Experience
Having already graduated university with a BSc (Hons) in Equine Science, Sarah returned to Warwickshire University to study the science of equine behaviour, which was to be the start of her passionate vocation helping horses with behaviour problems.
In addition to helping horse owners overcome obstacles and achieve rewarding results and relationships with their horses on a daily basis, Sarah is passionate about being a ‘voice for the horse’; spreading the word to enhance equine wellbeing. This takes many educational forms including giving talks and demos to horse owners and equine professionals alike, writing for various publications including Your Horse magazine, Horse & Hound and The GaitPost online, contributing to live BBC radio discussions on horse related stories in the media.
More recently Sarah has been supporting the Athena Herd Foundation team by delivering teaching material to Equine Facilitated Learning students about the Nature of the Horse.
Sarah is obsessed with learning more about horses through study and CPD’s. Mostly though, she gives thanks on a daily basis to her greatest teacher, the true expert in equine behaviour – the horse!
