What You'll learn....

This course is designed for horse owners looking to better understand horses and their behaviours, particularly those dealing with emotional obstacles such as anxiety or aggression, or horses coming from rescue situations. You’ll learn to recognise the underlying “why” behind challenging behaviours, moving beyond symptom-based approaches. Discover compassionate, force-free, and pain-free methods that build a stronger horse-human relationship by addressing the core issue, leading to long-term well-being for the horse.

This course is also offered as a CPD (Continuing Professional Development) for equine behaviour professionals and those working with rescued equines, who want to learn more about engaging effectively with traumatised horses and those from rescue backgrounds.

Louisa Maree

Louisa always had a love for horses from a young age and later discovered a passion for rescue horses and equine rehabilitation after she adopted two rescue horses who struggled with behavioural and physiological problems. After helping her own horses heal emotionally and physically she set out on a mission to help others who were facing the same struggles. 
 
She gained qualifications in equine psychology and myofunctional therapy and studied under professionals and researchers to expand her knowledge further. Afterwards, she founded TrulyTrust Equine where she now specialises in rehabilitation, including barefoot hoof rehabilitation and behavioural rehabilitation. 
She shares that her goal is to help create a vibrant and pain-free life for horses by approaching healing holistically, and through the process helping owners and horses build a true connection and partnership with each other.
