Trees & Hedgerows for Horses: A Species Guide
Trees and hedgerows are more than boundaries or shade providers — they are living systems that support horse welfare, enhance agroecological resilience, and deliver vital ecosystem services. Choosing the right mix of species, combining quick‑growing trees with slower‑growing, long‑lived species, creates diverse habitats that benefit horses, landowners, and the wider environment. This download covers some of the species you may consider integrating into your land, appropriate for the UK climate.

understanding your land: identify your grass
A practical, beginner-friendly Grass ID course for horse owners. Forage makes up around 90% of your horse’s diet — but most of us aren’t fully sure what’s actually growing in our fields or present in our hay. This short, practical course helps you build the confidence to recognise common UK pasture grasses, understand the features used to identify them, and start thinking about what the grasses in your field might tell you about your pasture, soil and management. Inside the course you'll get: Field walkover videos showing common grass species in situ A practical approach to identifying grasses, starting with flower heads and key visual features Parts of a grass plant explained simply, including spikelets, ligules, culms, nodes, roots, rhizomes and stolons A Grass ID Guide to refer back to Quizzes to test your understanding and practise identification Species guides covering perennial ryegrass, Yorkshire fog, sweet vernal-grass, bent grasses, crested dog’s-tail, timothy, cocksfoot, tufted hair-grass and meadow foxtail A short section on seed mixes and choosing wisely A 1-Minute Soil Signal Refresh to help you start thinking about what your pasture is telling you A simple field homework exercise to keep building your identification skills Lifetime access, including future course updates This course is for you if... You've ever looked across your pasture and thought: “I know that's grass... but what grass?” You don't need a botanical background or previous grass-identification experience. The course focuses on recognising useful features and developing a practical identification method, rather than trying to memorise an entire flora. This isn't an exhaustive botanical guide. It's a practical starting point for horse owners who want to understand the grasses growing in their pasture and become more confident identifying them.

pain or behaviour? understanding what your horse is really telling you
A short, welfare‑led course to help you interpret subtle signs with confidence. Most behaviour problems aren’t behaviour problems at all.They’re communication. This short course helps you understand whether your horse’s behaviour is more likely linked to pain, training, stress, or a combination — so you can respond with clarity, compassion, and confidence. You’ll learn the subtle signs owners often miss, how emotional and physical discomfort overlap, and what practical steps you can take to support your horse’s welfare. This course does not diagnose conditions.It helps you recognise patterns that matter.

understand your horse: the essentials
A practical, evidence‑led introduction to who horses are and what they need to thrive. Horses make sense when we understand them as a species — their evolution, their behaviour, their social needs, and the environments they’re adapted to. This short course gives you the essential foundations of equine welfare: what horses need, why they need it, and how everyday management decisions shape their health, behaviour, and emotional wellbeing. You’ll learn how to recognise your horse’s natural behaviours, support their physical and psychological needs, and create an environment that allows them to feel safe, connected, and able to express their true nature. Grounded in science but designed to be practical and accessible, this course helps you see your horse through a compassionate, informed lens and make small, meaningful changes that improve their daily life.
