Title
Horse psychology and behavior: equine educational programmes by Herdword, New Zealand
Description
Internationally known for her equine consultancy work, Jane was born in England in 1949 and grew up in an Equestrian environment. She was formally educated by military riding instructors, a mature student of the Spanish Riding School and a variety of instructors and examiners from the British Horse Society. Strong influences on Jane between the ages of three and fourteen years of age were the North Warwickshire Hunt, The Windmill Hill Riding Academy at Stratford - Upon - Avon [John Tilke / Mrs Marash] and Reginald Gregory ex Cavalry. John Tilke continued to influence Jane when she received tuition in order to gain qualifications to teach in conjunction with the B.H.S.
Additionally, Jane has made the behaviour of horses and people a life-long study. At the outset this was not a conscious decision, but became so as more people bombarded her with problem cases to resolve. It became more and more obvious to Jane that problems were created and not born, as she rarely experienced the same problems that others had with their horses.
Working out 'WHYs', became a long-term project for Jane. As she began to observe, at local, county and national shows how some successful people achieved the desired results, and why others did not; Jane became very aware of how uncooperative horses displayed signs of distress. This took her on a long journey of discoveries that accompanied her work with: Breeding, breaking and schooling for both ridden disciplines and carriage work, rehabilitation, agency [matching horse to rider], agistment [livery / boarding horses], and pre-purchase assessments. These activities ran in conjunction with her remedial work with bad catchers, buckers, spookers, rearers, pullers, bolters, bad loaders, kickers, strikers, biters, chargers, nappers [barn sour], jump stoppers, starting gate problems and other complex psychological behavioural problems.
