Inside the Professional Horse Trainers Forum with Naomi Garner
<p>In this episode, I sit down with Naomi Garner a presenter from the upcoming Professional Horse Trainers Forum, at Understand Horses.</p><p>Naomi began her career in equine podiatry in 2019, training with Equine Podiatry Training Ltd. Owning nervous horses herself shaped her desire to work with cases others often avoid. Over time, she developed a practical, welfare-led approach to supporting anxious, dangerous, and physically compromised equines. This led her to specialise further in behaviour change and positive reinforcement, continuing her education with Understand Horses. Naomi’s work focuses on ethical, non-forceful solutions that prioritise both horse and human safety.</p><p>In her presentation Naomi will explore what both horse and handler need for safe, welfare-led hoof care - good hoof care is not only about what is done to the feet, but how it is carried out. Too often, forceful handling is normalised, despite escalating fear and risk. This talk covers handling hooves, essential skills for both horse and owner, training alongside your hoof care provider, and retraining the “kicker.” Attendees will leave with practical tools to improve safety while advocating for their horse’s physical and mental wellbeing.</p><p>This conversation offers a preview of one of seven presentations at this year's Professional Horse Trainers Forum, hosted by myself, Trudi Dempsey and Justine Harrison on 26 September 2026, early bird ticket £35 but get one soon as the full price will be £50.</p><p>For tickets and info <a href="https://www.understandhorses.com/the-professional-horse-trainers-forum">The Professional Horse Trainers Forum</a></p><p><br></p><p>Find Naomi <a href="https://www.bareremedyequinepodiatry.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Podiatry</a> <a href="https://www.halcyonequine.co.uk/services" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Horse Training</a> and on social media as Bare Remedy Equine Podiatry and Halcyon Equine on social media.</p><p><br></p><p></p>

Inside the Professional Horse Trainers Forum with Milly Paton and Christa Culbert
<p>In this episode, I sit down with Milly Paton and Christa Culbert, two presenters from the upcoming Professional Horse Trainers Forum, to explore what makes training genuinely safe and effective for both horse and human.</p><p>Milly, a mental health nurse and positive reinforcement trainer, unpacks psychological safety as the foundation for learning. In her presentation she will discuss how distress and cognitive overload can be present even when a session looks successful on the surface, and how session structure, pacing, and learner agency support nervous system regulation in both horses and humans.</p><p>Christa will look at the role of patterns in communication, groundwork, and riding. She'll explain how thoughtfully applied patterns can build reliable behaviours, from husbandry to riding, and how they give horses a clearer way to communicate back to us, regardless of discipline or method.</p><p>Together, this conversation offers a preview of two of the seven presentations at this year's Professional Horse Trainers Forum, hosted by Trudi Dempsey and Justine Harrison on 26 September 2026, early bird ticket £35</p><p>For tickets and info <a href="https://www.understandhorses.com/the-professional-horse-trainers-forum" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">The Professional Horse Trainers Forum</a></p><p><br></p><p>Find Milly and Christa...</p><p><a href="https://www.christaculberthorsemanship.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.christaculberthorsemanship.com/</a></p><p><a href="https://millypatonhorsecraft.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://millypatonhorsecraft.com/</a></p><p><br></p><p></p>
