Course Overview
Learn about how horse welfare and good land management are inextricably linked. There are huge benefits for horses, people, and the wider environment if this win-win-win (One Welfare) approach is taken.
Are you concerned about the welfare of your horses? Are you concerned about your time and costs? Are you concerned about the wider environment and climate change?Â
This is a course like no other!
Are you ready to become part of the exciting Equiculture movement?
First of all, who is this course for?
Anyone who owns one or more horses/ponies. If you are just starting out or if you have been into horses for many years this course is essential. This course challenges traditional outdated methods and offers innovative solutions for the forward-thinking horse owner.
It does not matter where in the world you live either; we have members who live in various countries (and climates), from the UKÂ to Australia, from the USA to South Africa, from Canada to Sweden, and many more…
Why do you need this course?
If you want to be a Responsible, Sustainable and Ethical horse owner/manager this course will guide you and offer practical solutions so that you can make informed choices for the benefit of your horse/s, yourself and the land.
Why this course, and why now?
To put it bluntly, the traditional management of horses is not working. There is increased obesity, ill health, behavioural issues, damaged soil causing unhealthy pasture, higher costs, the list goes on. Added to this are very real concerns about climate change etc. This course addresses all of these issues and much more.
Instead, would you like to…
- Learn how to save money, time and energy and be able to do more of the things you love with your horse/s?
- Learn how to create a better ‘lifestyle’ for your horse/s and allow them to carry out more of their natural behaviours?
- Learn how to improve the health of the land and increase biodiversity?
Read just a few of our many endorsements:
‘’This course is designed to ensure that horsekeeping is kind to the environment and is ideal for all horses’ needs. From pasture and manure management to weed control, this course is packed with simple tips and evidence-based advice. I warmly recommend it to everyone who sees the sense in keeping horses in ways that match their needs and behaviour. It’s the perfect complement to the course on Applying the Five Domains Model to the Welfare Assessment of Sport and Recreation Horses.’’ Professor Paul McGreevy
“Forget micro-management, go Equicentral and embrace macro-management then sit back and watch the horses thrive. It’s a revelation.” April Chalklin-Costa – Puckshott Farm Livery, UK.
”The Equiculture approach to everything horsey – from how you manage your horses to how you ride – has been a revelation for me. My horses have benefited so much. My partner also loves this approach and is now much more involved in our improved ‘horse lifestyle”. Julie Spencer, USA.
”I went to one of your talks in Taree (Aus) a couple of years ago, (rather arrogantly thinking I’d know most of it already). It was life changing for me, my horses, and my land. I now enjoy smugly comparing the biodiversity on my place compared to the neighbours!” Janet (Aus).

- You want to manage your horse/s in a responsible, sustainable and ethical way, but you do not know how to achieve this?
- You are confused about safe grazing for your horses?
- You are anxious about your horse/s weight?

- You are concerned that each year there are more weeds, more bare soil and less grass?
- You are really not happy with how the land looks?
- You know you should be increasing biodiversity but you are not sure how?
