PROFESSIONAL TRAINING COURSES FROM
YASMIN STUART | EQUINE PHYSIOTHERAPIST
Throughout my career, I have recognised that there is a lot of information in the equine industry. Some of this information is geared towards horse welfare - encouraging horse owners to make educated choices for the benefit of their horse, however there is still so much out there in misalignment.
With this in mind, it’s important that anyone working with horses - be it as an owner or a professional - can identify information designed to support the emotional and physical wellbeing of their horse and implement it in a way that is relevant to them.
Within this, I believe it’s important for everyone to recognise when a horse is struggling, identify why they’re struggling and understand what they can do about it - with an understanding that this, in itself, is a sliding spectrum depending on personal values and belief systems of the people working with the horse, as well as resources available to them.
For this reason, over the course of my career, I have been identifying reasons why a horse might be struggling and have become aware that there are holes in the knowledge within the industry - this is why I have created my Training Hub.
It is my passion to help people understand their horse - not just from a performance standpoint but also from the perspective that their horse is deeply individual within the parameters of the research around behaviour, physiology and biomechanics. This is especially important with the light being shone on Social Licence to Operate.
I have developed my very own portfolio of Training Courses that I believe help to fill the gaps in knowledge and understanding within the equine industry. This portfolio is ever-evolving and new courses will be announced via my social media channels as and when they become available to purchase.
My courses are video-based - designed to be as interactive as possible to provide as much information and value within each course as possible. Each is delivered by myself - drawing on my own knowledge and personal experience gained throughout my career. By signing up to the course you gain exclusive access to the course content - at the end of each course you have the opportunity to book a 1-2-1 session with myself to discuss your learnings.*
*1-2-1 sessions are at an additional cost to the course fees.
The intention for this course is not to make you an expert in the field of horse posture, but to help you to recognise abnormalities, understand their aetiology and articulate your observations – thus helping you to become a better advocate for the horses around you. This course is suitable for everyone - whether you are a horse owner looking to help your horse, or a professional in the industry looking to enhance your skillset.
This course is designed for horse owners and professionals alike, to support horses in being happy, healthy athletes, genuinely. This looks like so much more than simply improving physical performance – it looks like recognising your horse’s emotional health and physical health. Understanding when to progress an exercise, when to regress an exercise and when to stay at the current level because the horse needs more time.
