Masterclass: Understanding Stress in Horses
A new way of seeing behaviour, soundness and connection
Learn to decode stress, recognise hidden states, and create the foundation for true safety and connection.
So many of us were taught to manage or correct behaviour.
To reward the calm. To redirect the tense.
To push through the resistance.
But what if your horse’s behaviour is actually a language?
What if that freeze, that shutdown, that moment of disobedience…
…isn’t defiance or disrespect — but dysregulation?
In this 3-hour masterclass, you’ll see what’s really going on beneath the surface — so you can meet your horse with clarity, compassion, and calm.
The nervous system responses horses move through daily (fight, flight, freeze, fawn, shutdown, dissociation)
The difference between behaviour and stress — and why they can’t always be separated
How to recognise subtle signs of dysregulation before they escalate into “problems”
Why obedience isn’t always connection — and what to look for instead
My framework: The 6 Pillars of Soundness™ — for building true mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, social, and environmental wellbeing in horses
Your horse seems “tense” but obedient — and you’re not sure if that’s true calm
You’ve tried to follow the rules, methods, or programmes — but something still feels off
You sense more is going on underneath the surface, but don’t know how to respond
You want to move from managing behaviour to creating deep, trusting connection
…you could walk into the paddock and immediately understand what your horse is communicating.
…you knew how to support them through tension, instead of correcting it.
…you could stop guessing — and start truly listening.
This class won’t give you step-by-step obedience techniques.
It will give you something much more powerful:
A way to understand your horse's stress — and your own.
A map to decode behaviour.
And a path to real connection built on science, observation, and trust.
