A very special opportunity to attend a two day event with Lucy Rees. Day one will be a theory based lecture day.
Day two will be a practical and demo with spectator spaces.
Raised among horses and fascinated by animal behaviour from an early age, Lucy studied zoology at University College London, specialising in ethology and neuroscience, before doing postgraduate research in Sussex University, working with a variety of trainers. Returning to her native Wales, she had a rather atypical riding centre in Snowdonia, where she began training wild Welsh ponies, became known for her success with “problem” horses, edited a climbing magazine and wrote her first books. Her insight and teaching led to the publication of The Horse ́s Mind (1984), a book that pre-dated modern trends and has had enormous influence for its combination of an ethological approach with wide experience gained working in Britain, Ireland, the USA and Portugal.
Apart from writing books and articles and teaching equine ethology in universities in Wales, England, Spain and many Latin American countries, Lucy has been the protagonist of three documentaries: To Ride a Wild Horse (HTV 1984) in which she caught and rode a wild mustang stallion in Arizona; Chamana de Caballos (The Horse Shaman, Catalonia 2002) and Salvajes (Wild Pottokas, Alucina 2017).
Lucy is very much guided by scientific principles: above all, the observation of feral horses.
