Coming This Tuesday – Don't Miss Out

Hello ,

This may surprise you but… I don’t actually want to be labelled ‘a behaviourist’.

The term is far too narrow. Yes, on my online horse psychology course we certainly look at 'behaviourism', after all, we need to know how we’re being trained by Facebook ‘likes’ for one thing (!) and we need to understand the importance of timing and all the rest of it – but we don't want to be restricted into thinking horses are binary creatures.

What you need is a teacher with real-life experience to point out all the ‘Unexpected Consequences’ 🤦‍ – and good news – you've got one 😊

This could be one of Intelligent Horsemanship’s strongest points (though there are many) you need to know ‘what happens when ‘the theory’ doesn’t work?’ Yes, you’ll get the science and evidence-based information but you'll also get plenty of actual case studies thrown in – we promise to keep it fun as well as educational!

Join October's Online Horse Psychology Course 🎓

The IH Horse Psychology Online Course is an 8-week LIVE equine certification course taught by me, Kelly Marks with Intelligent Horsemanship trainer, Sandra Williams alongside me. The next course starts Tuesday, 7th October 2025.

The course has eight one-hour lessons held on eight consecutive Tuesday evenings from 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm. Plus, there is extra time at the end of each session for any questions. Sandra Williams and I are also available during the week to answer email questions.

You don’t HAVE to watch live; recordings will be available for students to watch for 7 days after each session. There will be certificates for students who complete the course, and it's also worth 6 BHS Continued Personal Development points. There is an optional Whatsapp group for students to make new friends and connections.

The Course Syllabus:

Week 1 – Pros and Cons of using food in equine training

Week 2 – Recognising when it’s Pain not Brain with horses

Week 3 – An introduction to Behaviourism

Week 4 – Far Beyond Behaviourism

Week 5 – The Senses, Brain and how a horse understands

But don't take our word for it. Here is what Claudia had to say about this course after she attended it:

Horse and Grassland Management Webinar with Equiculture

This Wednesday we were joined by Jane Myers of Equiculture for a brilliant webinar which is now available as a recording!

Jane, and her husband Stuart, offer education and resources for people who own, manage or work with horses and the land those horses live on. Find out more about Equiculture.

Equiculture teaches horse owners how to manage their land in a way that is good for:

HORSES – by improving their welfare.
PEOPLE – by saving them time and money.
The ENVIRONMENT – by improving biodiversity & soil, creating habitat for wildlife, etc. A true win-win-win.

You can learn via their books, online courses, face-to-face talks, consultations and of course, get started with our watching the recording!
