WELCOME TO HART'S HORSEMANSHIP & PRINCIPLE CENTRED TRAINING
Equine Behaviour Services
Ben has a mission to provide safe, ethical and sustainable training for equines by helping
you use the practical application of the science of behaviour with your equines.
Like most equine people you probably want to understand more about equine behaviour so you can help your horse, donkey or mule, but you want an individual approach not a one size fits all method, and a trainer who will help you and your animal to reach your potential.
Ben uses his extensive knowledge of the practical application of animal and human behaviour
to deliver training that is ethical and tailor made to your individual situation. Ben doesn't
use methods which are built on personal opinion, ego or showmanship, instead he bases his
training on the science of behaviour and on the natural principles of honesty, responsibility
and wisdom so that learning inspires behaviour change, both during training and for years
afterwards. He believes in putting the animal first, and while balancing the needs of
domestication, being guided by the principle, “do no harm,” a principle which creates an
ethical approach to training. Ben believes that learning should be practical and fun and
in educating owners and trainers so you can develop your own skills to transform your
relationships with your equines.

facilitation service is to make things easy. Ben uses his knowledge of behaviour and animal
welfare combined with participatory learning to provide effective Principle Centred Training
and Facilitation services that deliver the best use of valuable resources like your time and
money, for any office event. Using Ben’s participatory approach empowers you to make your own
effective decisions and achieve results in meetings, problem solving groups, training events
and team building sessions.

By creating a better understanding of the art and science of behaviour and its practical application Ben helps people and equines reach their true potential. The science of behaviour allows a truthful understanding of communication and learning both in equine and humans. The art of behaviour develops the feel that allows the practical application of the science. By teaching people, how to think, rather than what to think, Ben allows people to solve their own problems and develop their own unique solutions.
