This training course aims to give trainees knowledge, understanding and basic skills in the behaviour of equines. It covers the skills necessary to assess an equine's behaviour in a safe and effective manner to ascertain whether it is safe to perform the required task. It also covers the skills and
knowledge necessary to ensure that interactions with equines reinforce desired behaviour and do not result in setting up undesirable behaviour patterns. A good understanding of the processes of routine training will help to ensure that routine interactions with the equine complement the pre-existing training.
