My book is celebrating 1 year already!! And what a year it has been 😃
"The pretty pony once said' is a heart-warming rhyming tale full of active learning for children, 5-9. The perfect gift for little animal lovers.
Bedtime story, education and teaching resource
My book is about friendship and empathy for others and helps children better understand the nature of horses. It also offers a guide to children as to why behaviour difficulties may arise.

Bought Rachael's book a couple of years ago and love it. So excited about this webinar!

5th February 2024 - Save the date!

In this webinar Rachael Draaisma introduces various forms of equine scentwork. She will dive deeper into the advantages equine scentwork gives and how they positively affect the horses physically and mentally.

For instance, you will get to know why scentwork calms the horse, why it leads to less spooky behaviours, or more connection between horse and handler.

Rachaël will also discuss the challenges and applicability of various scentwork exercises.

Although this webinar does not give a step by step guide on how to get started on the equine scentwork exercises, it will inspire many to explore further and to add these new activities into their daily life and work with horses.

WE DO NOT SELL TICKETS THROUGH THIRD PARTIES. Please only use trybooking.com/uk/CZJS!

Spending Christmas chilling and working on Youth club module 5. It's all about horses' lifeskills and their importance.
If we don't help our horse learn a particular skill, we may end up with any behaviour. Potentially creating problems for ourselves.
Give your horse the gift of guidance to behaviours that will help and support them in life.
