Help for your needle shy horse!
The ONLY in-depth online course to deeply understand and compassionately overcome needly shyness in your horse
Taught by me, a vet with eight years of experience in clinical practice.
I also have a deep appreciation for what it is like as a horse owner when these difficulties arise with our horses. Plus, I use an approach based on communication, compassion and consent
Needle shyness can turn a simple injection into a stressful and dangerous struggle for the horse and handlers
Needle shyness can begin with only one bad injection experience. It usually gets worse, and rarely gets better without systematic, ethical intervention
Good news: you CAN help the needle shy horse and, better yet, know how to avoid it from developing in the first place
Everyone with a horse needs this course!

Six-week in-depth online course LIVE
Join my six-week online course with plenty of live support for complex needle shyness cases where deep-seated fears, phobias, or pain need to be worked through, and where further diagnostics or regular treatments involving needles are required and are not currently possible due to needle shyness
