‘Thoughts on horsemanship’

An evening with Ben Hart
Date: 14th July 2006
Venue: Hardwick Court Farm, Chertsey, just off junct 11 M25 (directions will be provided with the ticket).

Time: 7pm onwards

Ben Hart (formerly Company of Horses, now Hart’s Horsemanship) will be discussing aspects of horsemanship in a light hearted and informal way: looking at equine training trough the science of behaviour. A fun evening with plenty of time for questions.

Ben has a mission to “help people better understand horses, donkeys and mules, by improving knowledge of behaviour and developing an understanding of the true nature of the equine species.”

Based on mutual trust between equine and human, using common sense and honesty to encourage people to follow their own path, he promotes no single method, relying instead on the balance of art and science to develop a long-term approach to equine training and behaviour.

All profit to the equine charity TAWS. TAWS exists to promote improved management, health and welfare of transport and draft animals. Many of the world’s poorest people are dependent on horses, oxen, donkeys, camels, mules and buffaloes to cultivate land and transport goods and people. Much is known about animal health, welfare and management BUT it is poorly disseminated to communities in the third world: TAWS aims to change this.

This is a joint event with the Natural Horse Group. Tickets £7.50. Please send a cheque payable to ‘Natural Horse Group’ to Suzanne Rogers, 14 Alexandra Road, Addlestone, Surrey, KT15 2PE. See www.learningaboutanimals.co.uk for more details.
