Listening to the Horse: Ethics, Sentience, and Daily Practice

This thought-provoking session invites equine professionals to re-examine everyday practices through the lens of equine sentience. By shifting from a task-focused, control-oriented mindset to one rooted in empathy, presence, and partnership, we can move beyond simply “doing to” horses — and begin truly “being with” them.

Light refreshments will be available.

The session will be taught by Debbie Busby BSc MSc MBACP GMBPsS CEBC ABTC-CAB CCAB (pictured below) a Certificated Clinical Animal Behaviourist specialising in equine and canine behaviour, a registered psychotherapist and author.
