Life at livery – it’s not always perfect! There are two things people mainly struggle with at livery; needing to compromise on the choices you would ideally make for your horse, and dealing with the pressures of other people.

Based on the results of several years of research by human behaviour researcher Tamzin Furtado, this archived webinar recording explores how we can manage both situations. This webinar is suitable for people who keep their horses at livery, as well as livery yard managers themselves. 

This webinar will cover:

•  What is it like being a livery yard owner, what is it like being a client?

•  Why does it sometimes seem like there are so many disagreements on livery yards?

• What are your livery manager’s responsibilities, and what are yours?

•  How and when to compromise but still do the best for your horse

•  How to choose the best yard for you and minimise potential disagreements

•  Peer pressure – what is it and why does it happen?

•  How to deal with everyone telling you what to do

•  Mainly – how to make your life and your horse’s life as easy as you possible can!

After the presentation, Tamzin answered questions from the audience. 

This presentation is for horse owners, livery yards owners, students, equine professionals and anyone interested in horse keeping. 

Once enrolled you have 60 days to watch this recording.
