Ardani Farm & Kristen: Your Trusted Partners in Understanding Horse Behavior

​

We believe in fostering a strong bond between horses and humans built on trust, respect, and understanding. Our mission is to support you in developing a deep connection with your equine partner while promoting their well-being and happiness.

​

With our Equine Behavior Consulting services, we specialize in utilizing the LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) principles to address behavioral issues and enhance the overall relationship between you and your horse. Our approach is rooted in empathy and compassion for both horse and human, recognizing that each team has unique needs and experiences.

​

How can we assist you?

1. Behavior Evaluation: We understand that every behavior has a cause. I will work closely with you to assess your horse's behaviors, considering factors such as their environment, past experiences, and physical health. By identifying the root cause of any issues, we can develop effective strategies to address them.

2. Relaxation Techniques: Finding relaxation is key to a harmonious relationship with your horse. Through consistent and gentle methods, we'll help your equine companion find peace and comfort with common husbandry tasks, leading to a more enjoyable and stress-free partnership.

3. Environmental Assessment: The environment plays a significant role in influencing horse behavior. We'll conduct a thorough evaluation of your horse's living conditions, including their stabling, turnout area, and social interactions. By creating an optimal environment tailored to your horse's needs, we can promote positive behaviors and emotional well-being.

4. Connection Building: At Ardani Farm, we prioritize the development of a strong bond between you and your horse. We'll provide guidance on effective communication, mutual trust-building exercises, and positive reinforcement techniques to deepen your connection and enhance mutual understanding.
