Read MoreThe Horse Behaviour Consulting Mentorship course was an exceptional experience that I would highly recommend to anyone interested in deepening their understanding of equine behaviour. Led by a true expert in the field, the course was both informative and inspiring. Justine's passion for horses and their behaviour was evident in every session, and this enthusiasm was contagious. One of the most valuable aspects of the course was the opportunity for collaboration with other participants. The group discussions and interactive sessions allowed us to share experiences, ask questions, and learn from each other. This sense of community enhanced the learning experience and helped to broaden my knowledge in ways I hadn't anticipated. By the end of the course, I felt not only more knowledgeable but also deeply inspired to continue my journey in equine behaviour consulting. The mentorship provided a solid foundation and left me eager to explore more in this fascinating field. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting out, this course offers something for everyone and is an investment in your ongoing education and passion for horses.

Read MoreJustine is an amazing mentor. She is dedicated and provides tremendous support. She selflessly shares her knowledge, case studies, ideas, absolutely everything. The course itself is a total refresher no matter how long you have been with horses or how long you have been working as a professional. In addition to studying the behaviour of horses you will get a lot of ideas and advice on how to start your business, how to improve your business and even what to do if you are still finding yourself. All recommendations for the course no matter at which stop of your journey you are. I changed my approach to training, both, horses and people. Thank you Justine, I'm looking forward to your new courses!

Read MoreI cannot rate this course highly enough. I found it incredibly interesting, engaging and insightful. It has given me a renewed sense of confidence, enthusiasm and ambition, and I feel much more able to take on the scary world of behaviour consulting. I am so glad I took part in the course and will miss having the new lessons and zoom calls to look forward to each week.

Read MoreI'm so glad I decided to do this mentorship - it was so much more than I anticipated it would be. The subject matter was perfectly paced and timed and the weekly Zoom sessions were really confidence boosting. The mentorship as a whole has bolstered my belief in what I can do and how I can do it in an ethical and effective way. It has also made the practical process of running a consulting practice and actually going out there and doing it much less daunting because of all of the information and coaching Justine gave based on her own experience. And the bonus was that it was all really enjoyable!

Read MoreA course packed with info and years of experience distilled. One to return to and find new nuances. Clear arguments, latest information, academic, structured and yet very personal. Justine is the most encouraging teacher I've met so far. And the community discussions - another great bonus! Highly recommended.

Read MoreJustine has put a lot of work in structuring this course, with a great deal of valuable information on each topic. The mentorship will provide a deep insight on horse behaviour and how to address behaviour problems in a consulting context, with real life case studies in discussion. Important business related aspects, of great use for career enhancement are addressed too, as well as plenty of useful resources of various kinds. All in all it is a very well presented course, that will definitely open your mind and give you food for thought. If you love horses, you can be sure that it is worth your time and money and that you will learn a lot from this mentorship!

Read MoreI enrolled on this course wanting to expand my knowledge on horse behaviour having worked mainly with dogs. The breadth of information given is amazing and there's plenty of information about dealing with the human side of the equation (something that I've found many animal behaviour courses lack). Thank you Justine for being so patient as it has taken me a long time to complete the course - I've definitely got a lot from it that I will apply to my own horse, and hopefully one day clients too!
