Equine behaviour consultants listed online
It is now easier for horse owners to find a qualified and insured equine behaviour consultant, following the launch of a new website.
The Society of Equine Behaviour Consultants (SEBC) has enabled public access to its registered members, in order to put owners in contact with a suitable professional to help them with riding or handling issues.
On the new website, consultants are categorised according to their academic and vocational qualifications. For example, British Horse Society-registered instructors belong to the highest category, A.
The website follows a rise in demand for professional equine behaviour consultants in recent years, according to the society.
"There is so much misinformation about horse behaviour out there causing unnecessary suffering to horses and accidents resulting in serious injury to people," said Dr Debbie Marsden of SEBC.
"I am delighted that horse owners now have easy access to fully-qualified and insured professionals who put their safety and horse's welfare first."
Commenting that SEBC-registered consultants bring maximum benefit to both horses and riders, Dr Marsden explained that they work closely with vets, veterinary physiotherapists, saddlers, farriers and instructors.
"SEBC-registered consultants treat each horse and rider as individuals, offering the most practical and cost-effective solution to any challenging behaviour, selecting from all known training methods that are best suited to each partnership's need and preferences."
