Acute and chronic stress can have a profound impact on our horse’s wellbeing and performance, but are also a part of life that we need to be able to identify and manage, regardless of the paths we choose to take with our horses.Stress impacts behaviour, trainability, and chronic illness - including metabolic conditions.
Thirza Hendriks works internationally improving horse wellness and performance through combining a deep understanding of equine physiology and anatomy with training grounded in classical dressage and rehabilitation.
This 2-day course is designed for dedicated horse owners and professionals who want to deepen their understanding of equine stress from a scientific and practical perspective.
This course contains a mix of in-depth theory, practical sessions and interactive discussions.
We’ll explore:
• Various types of stress
• Energy budgeting of the body
• The neurophysiology and endocrinology of stress
• The difference between acute (functional) and chronic (dysfunctional) stress
• The concepts of homeostasis and allostatic load
• Stress assessment and measurement
• Metabolic effects, dynamics and the gut-brain axis
• Chronic stress and inflammation (metabolic load)
• Tools and strategies to support your horse’s resilience so they can adapt to the environment, regulate and navigate challenges.
