Event Angel NI Search for Problem Horses

Andrew McLean

Event Angel NI and Gransha Equestrian Centre welcome the second of their Equine Behaviour demonstrations on Friday October 7th 2011 at 6.00pm. Stopping off during his tour of Europe, Dr. Andrew McLean brings to Gransha his award winning training and behaviour modification methods. As a follow up on the August demonstration with Jody Hartstone, a former pupil of Dr. McLean, spectators have the chance to further understand the Equine Learning Theory under the instruction of this world renowned trainer.

Holder of a PhD in equine cognition and learning and winner of the highest Australian Science award, the Eureka Prize for Science, Andrew McLean developed and manages the Australian Equine Behaviour Centre, the most internationally recognised horse training and behaviour modification centre in Australia. He has been an accredited horse riding coach for over 25 years and has written top-selling books and numerous peer reviewed journal articles. A past winner of the Gawler CCI***, he has also represented Australia in Horse Trials, competed at state and national events in FEI level dressage and eventing and has also showjumped to Grand Prix level.

Included on his trip Dr. McLean will host a 5 day Belgian Police clinic, clinics at Sweden's Land University, Kulla-Vreta, Sparreholms Slott, Holland, Denmark, Dublin and Northern Ireland. He will meet with British Horse Society UK to update curriculum, Olympic HQs Switzerland for road-mapping the future of equestrian sports, attend the ISES conference and give an overshadowing demo at the Global Dressage forum.

On the night three separate demonstrations will be given, each with different issues, such as bucking, rearing, spooking, napping and lack of confidence. The demonstration will involve interactive discussion of the problem behaviour. Andrew will identify the possible sources of the problem and then show how these may be resolved. The owner/ rider will be shown techniques to re-educate the horse resulting in stress reduction and ultimately improved performance.
