Following a stay at a veterinary hospital my 17 yrs old mare developed a phobia of needles and strangers . She displayed alarming behaviour when stressed, spinning in stable, barging. She had never previously shown this kind of behaviour. After working with Jen, she has been vaccinated, and had dental treatment without any issues, or signs of stress. Time and money well spent. Thank you Jen.

We asked Jen to help with loading our horse Nala - she was becoming difficult to load on the trailer and we didn't want to force her on. Within an hour working with Jen, she had walked on and off the trailer several times quite happily and continues to do so, meaning we have been able to take her easily to shows and rides knowing she always gets on immediately and isn't stressed (and neither are we!). The techniques Jen used extend beyond loading and can be used to teach her other things and in different circumstances. The session increased our understanding of horse training and behaviour, giving us the tools to achieve more. Would strongly recommend The Equine Method to anyone!

I cannot recommend Jen enough; using her vast knowledge, skills and insight into horse behaviour she has helped me understand and reconnect with my pony who had become terrified of all human contact including with me because of an unavoidable trauma while I was ill and couldn't be with him. He would not let anyone near him and ran away shaking with fear. She guided me through each session at a pace acceptable to him calmly and patiently. After a couple of months he has now regained trust and is very happy and relaxed. He comes every time to me in the field. Jen also helped introduce him to two other people calmly and patiently at a pace he could cope with and he is now happy to come to. Through working with Jen I have a much better knowledge and understanding of my pony's behaviour. I am now focusing on introducing him to more people and challenges and helping him through it whilst giving him a break on days when he clearly does not enjoy our weather
Catching Issues
Pauline Tasker
Jen has been an absolute god sent! I was loosing hope as a first time horse owner, I couldn't even mount my own horse! Frankly, I felt so down and really doubted if I am right for my horse. Thankfully Jen has helped both of us work through our insecurities and some bad habits my horse had from previous owners. I look forward to every session with Jen and after a couple of months I am happy to say I can mount my horse again and SOOOO much more! Getting in touch with Jen was the best decision I could have made for me as an Equestrian/rider and for Pri, my lazy but lovely horse. Thank you Jen! Ivy xx
Mounting Block & Ridden Concerns

I can’t recommend Jen enough, She actually listens to you and spends time with not only your horse but with you as well. Every session is broken down into baby steps so it’s not stressful and it always ends on a positive
Leading & Handling Concerns
Jeanette Jameson
Having tried absolutely everything over the years to solve our loading issues I contacted Jen to see if she could help - and she could! What I always thought was just a loading issue turned out to be more of a travelling issue instead and Jen was able to unpick all the past bad experiences and associations and replace them with positive ones instead, working at the horses pace to build their confidence. I now have a horse who happily self loads and has been an absolute joy to take out, it’s also massively improved our relationship overall as we’ve developed a new level of trust. Jen is so knowledgeable about a huge range of subjects and really open minded plus she’s always been at the end of the phone whenever I needed any support or guidance. I’ll really miss our sessions and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her to anyone struggling with any kind of behavioural issues.

I have worked with Jen twice now with two different horses and both times she has been able to empower me to help my horses with the things that were bothering us (hacking alone and picking up feet) She is kind and caring, never making you feel stupid and has helped end with overall confidence levels. Highly recommend Jen to anyone with a new horse or those thinking if getting one as she can help you find the right one too xx
Hacking & Leg Handling Concerns
Charlotte Collins
Many thanks to Jen for her expertise; identifying the problem my horse and I were having with managing his feet and feathers, devising an achievable programme and guiding me through each step until we resolved it. Such a positive experiencefor us both. I'm so grateful and I highly recommend this service.
Leg Handling Concerns

Jen is nothing short of magic. If you think you are at your wits end, please please reach out to her ! In just a few short months, (without much adherence from me!!) she has taken my horse from trying to kill the vet for a simple vaccination to it being a complete non event. Wish I'd found her sooner.
Needle & Vet Fear
Phoebe Parkinson
I got Jen out after my mare developed some anxiety and reluctance to be caught. I’d seen Jen work with a friend’s horse as well as doing a fun groundwork clinic, and knew she was the best person for the job. Jen was amazing and so encouraging; right from our initial phone chat and then the incredible comprehensive bespoke plan she created for us I felt supported all the way. We solved the headcollar/catching issue in 2 sessions and this hasn’t been a problem since. My mare and I discovered a love of clicker training, and with Jen’s help we have also nailed standing still to be mounted, worming/syringes, calmly going through narrow gateways and standing still to be tacked up! Working with Jen has had huge positive ramifications across the relationship I have with my mare, and we are both more confident as a result. Thank you Jen!.
