Equus-Assist Assistance to help overcome problems that have arisen between horse and owner/rider in a safe,sympathetic manner by experienced,caring horsewoman.

Hi, my name is Julie and I first got involved with horses when I was 9 years old, which is over 45 years ago now! They are my passion and I never tire of being around them and learning about them. I am BHS qualified to AI level and have worked in both riding schools and a holiday centre. I am a member of the Intelligent Horsemanship, have completed most of their courses and follow their principles

when working with all horses. I am currently working towards becoming a Recommended Trainer and am also studying to complete a diploma in horse psychology. In my life up to now I have had the pleasure of owning 8 very different characters, from a 17h medium weight hunter to a Shetland pony. Until very recently I still had the 13.2 Welsh pony my daughter spent many happy times with whilst growing up. Sadly I had to say goodbye to the old lady at the grand age of 27. Four of my horses came to me with some sort of behaviour issues due to past events and bad handling and for two of them I was the only one who would take them. With time and understanding they were all able to let go of the bad and enjoy their new lives. In my time I have met many different types of horses with very different personalities but they all had one thing in common. They all acted and reacted like horses and they all taught me a great deal both in how to handle and ride them. Over the years I have seen many things change and evolve, from the way we ride, the food we give them, how they are managed in and out of the stable to the equipment we use. Horses, however, have always been just horses, and still are. They react in the same way they always have and try to communicate with us the same as they always have. This is the one thing that I feel is most overlooked in our ever changing world. The beauty of these animals is that they are still horses, with all their little foibles* that some people fail to appreciate. (*Foible- A habit or characteristic that someone has which is considered rather strange, foolish or bad but which is also considered unimportant)
They are intelligent enough to master whatever particular role we decide is for them from dressage, jumping, barrel racing to ploughing. They understand and comply with our many varied demands, but are still called stupid for not wanting to go in a moving container over which they have no control! My passion for these animals has never waned over all the years I have been involved with them. I would like to share that passion and understanding with others so they can get the full enjoyment out of their partnership with these amazing animals. Equus- Assist is all about helping both handler and equine to better understand each other and build a stronger, better relationship. When working with horses, just like people, there isn’t a one size fits all solution. With my knowledge and experience gained over many years I am able to adapt my techniques to best suit the horse and the handler alike. In our modern times it is becoming increasingly important for things to happen instantly. Instant messaging, instant response, instant everything! This is all very well for computers and mechanical devices that are designed and equipped to do things in an instant. We, and our animals, need time to assimilate and process information we receive. Some of us, and them, take longer than others but given the right environment and support we all get there in the end. Time is the most important thing we can give each other and our animals and something that is in short supply a lot of the time. If you are not enjoying the sort of relationship you want with your equine companion or feel either of you are not achieving your goals please get in touch. I can help you by giving you some of my time to help start you both on the road to success.

Positive assistance for horse and human

Having been around horses for over forty years I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience in all types of situations and know how stressful it can be when things are not going right. Sometimes, when we are too involved in a situation, the answer is easy to see but we look past it and things get over complicated.

I have had a number of horses who came to me with various behavioural problems and went on to live very happy and stress free lives with me. It took time for them to trust and be relaxed around me but when they did it was the most rewarding feeling I have known.

I would like to use my experiences and help others to better understand their equine companions giving both horse and human a nicer, less stressful life.
