Choosing a behaviorist or trainer for your horse

Currently in the US, anyone can call themselves a horse trainer or behaviorist without having to meet any requirements for licensing or experience. Some training techniques can be harmful to your horse or worsen the behavior problem. You have a right to know how any equine professional will work with your horse. Conduct an interview and ask questions about their approach, experience, education, and insurance.   See our article What is an Equine Behaviorist?
