New Forest & Wessex Equine Behaviourist
About us
Dealing with the whole horse and human-horse relationship, Nicola has studied animal psychology, behaviour, ethology, neurochemistry, human psychology in clinical practice and welfare to a high level and applies this knowledge to all horse behaviour issues including general management, groundwork and ridden. From loading, remaining calm for the vet or farrier, separation issues, nervous or spooking, obsessive compulsive disorders such as weaving to working in-hand, general training and ridden issues and more.
Whether you are just intending to improve your relationship with your horse, handling or improve your riding, Nicola has developed her horse behaviour and training skills to include the biomechanics of riding, also being a Stage 1 Enlightened Equitation teacher with the core ethos of welfare in mind. When considering 'welfare', the approach applied conforms with both the scientific and UK legal definition, being something which is all too often absent from many horse training and behaviour approaches. However, being at the forefront of these issues is imperative for best resolving behaviour issues and remaining the ride side of animal welfare legislation and the law.
Many horse owners only approach a fully qualified behaviourist when all other measures have failed and when the problem is deeply ingrained. However, as well as dealing with such problems, Nicola advocates a proactive approach, believing prevention is better than cure and so advice and courses are also run on ideal or best approach from the outset.
For more information on treating deep set problems, or just general information, please visit www.chamberlain-behaviourist.co.uk.
Courses or individual lessons are also run on the correct and effective use of clicker/reward based training of horses. Nicola is based in the New Forest, Hampshire, England but undertakes talks and demonstrations throughout the UK.

Jenny B. asked:Evening to all. Recently someone wrote on here that their pony was quite traumatized when it came to the farrier. I have a large part Poitou donkey, who is very strong and has at some point, before I had him, had some bad experience with farriers. People were kindly recommending calming/relaxing types of feed or treats. Any suggestions would be greatly accepted. :-)Dorothy H. replied:Rather than trying to carry on despite the issue and mask it with calmers, it's always a good idea to speak to someone who understands how behaviour issues arise and how they can be resolved - that way, everybody's safer, including the donkey, handler and farrier. Maybe speak to Nicola? https://www.facebook.com/newforesthorsebehaviour/?fref=nf&pnref=story.unseen-section
