Learning from a horse behaviourist- someone who has fundamental knowledge and principles of body & mind of a specific species.

From macro to micro - knowing horses inside and out and being their voice. That’s the focus. And if we, in between, learn about what it means to be human(e) again, it’s a win win for all.

They teach us so much, emotionally, spiritually, physically- but they are not obliged to. It’s a gift. One that we must cherish.

We do so by becoming their guardians, not their masters in any way.

Leadership training, coaching, therapy, healing sessions - are all valid. But let’s keep in touch with the individual personality, wishes and needs of every single horse that is involved. Learning and educating about the species we are interacting with - not just a means to whatever end one chooses.

Sometimes I feel my profession is forgotten because it’s not fancy. It doesn’t look magical. It doesn’t bring direct advantage to a human, an industry or branch.

Its purely one that makes the horses life better, healthier, happier.

But you can profit from it - because your horse does.
Holistically, my advice and coaching give you insights that create the strongest foundations a horse person can have.

Hi, I am Carolina, a horse welfare specialist studied horse behaviourist equine coach and author. Here, you find everything you need to know about horses - when you’re truly interested in shifting into kind, empathetic and scientifically supported horsemanship.

Together we create a new human horse relationship from which the horses can thrive. And so do we.

Sometimes I can’t help but look around and realize: I am doing this all on my own. But I don’t know any better, so I just do it.

Sometimes, however, I have doubts if this is “for me”. If this ‘fighting the odds’ is worth it. If I can, one day, manage to live this life without doubts, worry and a lot of pushing through. If it’s, one day, the peace and quiet I want it to be. If we can come home.

The horse people and non horse people in my circles are all saying it’s not worth it. They either know the struggle and are worn out and tired, too. Or they don’t understand the choice completely.

As if it was ever a choice for me. But not everyone understands it. Even if they are the closest to you.

Nevertheless, the horses are my life. And I wish for anyone feeling this to not feel that alone with it today.

Love your horses 💖

From a routine vet check up to days filled with tears and worry. Honestly, I don’t know what to do at the moment. I’m still processing what it means for his future. And how I can help him.

He’s has a few years left with eyesight. But he’s just 14. We need to prepare for a life that can be managed by sound and feel.

But for now I want to educate you on the fact that we can’t carelessly go on about breeding what we think is pretty in the horse world.

Joopy didn’t deserve this much trouble in his life. Being totally displaced by his genetics. He’s a breed struggling to cope with our climate and rich nutrients. And his color was just for “pretty”.

But in the industry are even more examples. Of sport horses being bred too flexibel. Hooves being bred too small. Legs being bred to long.

And so much more. And all the short term and long term suffering that comes with it.

What are we doing?

So tired of the authority bias between vets and horse owners. It feels like federal crime to state that I don’t blindly trust every word they say. But here it goes. They are humans, too. They make mistakes. Especially in this field where many biases shape our way of thinking and therefore treating horses.

A vet carries such a tremendous amount of responsibility towards what comes out of their mouth - I am furious about statements like these. Vets are no gods. They don’t know it all. They just can’t. That’s why we have more professions out there.

Please, I don’t want to downgrade your profession. Just know your limits. And state they when you meet them.

And dear owners: you are their guardians. You have a say, too. You have (or can have) knowledge, too. You know your horse better, individually. Don’t rest on “but my vet says” if it still feels wrong.

Can we please even out this power struggle?

We should all be here to make the horses life better.
Working together.

We should all be equally caring and loving.

The answer is made out of two things: detail and context.

All behaviors are patterns. They all originate from a purpose. No behaviors stands alone or is random.

The art of analyzing horses comes from a vast pool of knowledge and a sense for detail. There are no coincidences when it comes to behavior.
Our bodies never lie.

The problem often is that we forgot about that. We don’t take it seriously. We don’t see anymore.

There are many stories about lazy horses. Stories we tell ourselves to ease the discomfort of not knowing and feeling unable.

If we grow past that - we do right by our horses.

Seeing and knowing - before buying - has saved me a lot of money on stuff and services, especially supplements, that my horses never really needed.

That makes my expensive education all the way worth it. And it would for you, too.

Horse Behaviorists are the guides, the crossroads, to lead you down the right path and make the right decisions. Without distraction.

I love my profession with all my heart, here’s how you can learn from it 👉🏻

Commenting “You know nothing about horses” under a post from a studied horse behaviorist pointing out the harmful side of the horse industry is pretty much pointing out the status quo of a widespread cognitive dissonance owned by the industry.

It’s important to distinguish between the words that are used. No judgment. No attacking. No defense or straight advice. Just questions. Questions to shift a mindset. See some truth that might have been hidden before under years of bias confirmation. And that’s uncomfortable.

Getting back uncomfortable comments does not make me stop though. It keeps me going because it shows there is so much more to uncover.

And I uncovered a lot already in my first book

Understanding Equus

It makes me so happy to see him so relaxed. I can’t even tell you why, but this means so much to me.

Probably, one would call it love.

Wishing him the best life he can have 💕

Thank you for this, again, incredible session with my horses. The calmness. The right touches. The space held.

I don’t trust many professionals but Sol here clearly says she’s a keeper.

He deserves it 💖

They all do. And sometimes just a session of bodywork can mean the world for us. That’s the least we can offer in return.

Love your horses today a little extra 🥰

For the sake of your horse, hear me when I say

Love is not enough.

At least not when it comes to the form of love we get taught through egoistic needs and unconscious desires.

Nothing is wrong with loving your horse.
But they are their own person, also.

They are not yours to have, to own, to use.

And also, not yours to live out the need to care.

I know. I know. Hard pill to swallow.

But I think this is where a lot of horses still grief silently, with people that mean well, but don’t see them really.

That don’t let air to breathe. Space to be. Freedom to live in a way the horse chooses to.

They don’t want to conform to what we call performance and maybe, they don’t want to conform to what we call “happy & healthy life”.

How did you choose what happy and healthy means to your horse? From a textbook? From generational practice? From an ideal in your imagination?

Or did you really asked them? Did you really journey towards truth and intuition?

Do you even define that for yourself?

Or are you just simply projecting your unconscious insides to the outside to fit the amount of discomfort you think you can carry?

Sit with that.

And if you want to go deeper: Understanding Equus is the book you want to read in 2026.

Being conditioned to seek something is just conditioning - not inherently good or bad. Until you understand that sentence I invite you to sit with it before commenting.

That counts for both humans and horses.

All I am saying is to be brutally honest with WHAT we do to horses, first. The WHAT. Without sugarcoating. Without biased confirmation of what we don’t want to see or change.

But I know how much emotional charge lays on theses statements. And that is my whole point. Because who is this about if you feel triggered by it? The horse? Or you?

The horse is a constant food searching, grazing, social flight animal that covers great distances in a close family band, with the freedom and rights to their own body. That’s a fact.

Everything else is a human concept with its own agenda. See this. And then we can talk ethical ways to own and train horses.

Because we have a responsibility, too.

This is so much deeper than a discussion on weather or not a horse likes it’s bit or stable. It’s biology. It’s psychology. Its philosophy.

But before that comes your basic humanness.

Your own ethical compass.

If you’re ready to look at it, remember there’s a book guiding you on your way to truly understand Equus.
