WELCOME TO HART'S HORSEMANSHIP & PRINCIPLE CENTRED TRAINING

Horse Training and Equine Behaviour Courses

Ethical, Safe, Sustainable Reach your true potential with your horse, donkey or mule, using the science behaviour to create safe, ethical equine training. Ben's passion is to help people understand the true behaviour of horses, donkeys and mules, and how this applies to their training.

Like most enlightened horse trainers and owners, you want to understand more about equine behaviour and training so that you can help your horse, donkey or mule. And you, too, want an individual approach to training and horse behaviour: not a one size fits all method. You also want an honest trainer who will walk the talk and help you solve your horse training problems, while developing your training skills.

Ben uses the practical application of horse and human behaviour to deliver horse training courses, workshops, clinics, home visits and books that are ethical and tailor made to individual training situations. Ben doesn't use horse training methods which are built on personal opinion, ego or showmanship. This isn't natural horsemanship and there are no pressure halters; just positive, practical, proven horsemanship you can learn. Ben bases his horse training on the science of behaviour and on the natural principles of honesty, responsibility and common sense, so that his equine training inspires behaviour change, both during training and for years afterwards. Learn more about how I work.

Hart's Horsemanship believes in putting the horse, donkey or mule first and balancing the needs of domestication with the guiding principle, "do no harm"; a principle which creates an ethical approach to horse training. Ben's courses are practical and fun and designed to educate owners and trainers so that they can develop their own skills to transform their relationships with their equines.

Facilitation and Training Services for Animal Welfare Organisations

Honesty, Sustainability, Wisdom As someone who is passionate about working with animals and animal welfare, does sitting in long drawn-out meetings that seem to go round and round in circles seem like a waste of time and money? It doesn’t have to be like that, because the aim of Ben's human training and facilitation service is to make things easy.

Ben uses his knowledge of behaviour and animal welfare, combined with participatory learning, to provide Principle Centred Training and Facilitation Services for animal charities and welfare organisations, making any office event effective and the best use of valuable resources like time and money. Using Ben's participatory approach empowers participants to make their own effective decisions and achieve results in meetings, problem solving groups, training events and team building sessions.

As an animal welfare organisation, having a facilitator and trainer who understands the complexities of working with animals will transform your training, and make meetings more productive, effective and shorter.

By creating a better understanding of the art and science of equine behaviour and its practical application, Ben helps people, horses, donkeys and mules 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 horse training problems and develop their own unique equine solutions.
