About the Course  We will look at what facial expression, posture and behaviour can tell us about how the horse is feeling. Each Monday I will release a new video lesson, followed on Wednesday by a video exercise for you to have a go at, with the answers released on Thursday. Questions can be emailed in by Thursday evening for a recorded Q&A session released on Sunday. Course lasts 4 weeks with access to all lessons for 90 days from the start date.
