Observe. Understand. Support
Our equine services are supported by reflective and observational learning resources, not only riding or practical activity.
At Eat Sleep Ride, our equine services are grounded in careful observation, evidence-informed practice, and compassionate understanding of horse behaviour.
We draw on recognised research into pain-related behaviours and facial expressions in horses, including models such as the Sue Dyson Pain Ethogram, to support better welfare, training decisions, and communication.
We provide practical resources to support learning and reflection, including a free horse observation worksheet for those struggling with their horse — encouraging structured observation and informed conversations.
We take an empathetic, horse-centred approach — from education and therapeutic support to rehabilitation and rehoming. Each horse is treated as an individual, with care shaped around their needs.
Led by Danielle McKinnon, BHS Stage 4 Coach and Teaching Horse™ Practitioner, our team is committed to improving outcomes for both people and horses through observation and shared learning.
