L'Ethologie Appliquée à l'Entraînement des Chevaux
Le Centre EquiProCo en collaboration avec le Laboratoire d'Ethologie de la Faculté de Médecine Vétérinaire de l'Université de Gand organise exceptionnellement
STAGE de DEUX JOURS (avec ou sans cheval) avec Dr ANDREW McLEAN
Le stage a lieu le 1 et 2 NOVEMBRE 2007 au Domaine mon Souhait (à 15 min de Bruxelles).
Cette approche est basée sur la science, i.e. sur la connaissance du comportement du cheval et sur les principes de l'apprentissage.
Il ne s'agit pas d''équitation éthologique', de `chuchoteurs' ou d'autres `nouveaux maîtres'.
Dr Andrew McLean est le fondateur du Centre Comportemental Equin Australien, possède un doctorat en psychologie de l'entraînement du cheval, est reconnu comme coach d'équitation depuis plus de 20 ans, a gagné Gawler CCI***, a concouru en dressage et en CSO au niveau Grand Prix, a représenté l'Australie pour le Trans Tasman Cup,....

This approach rests on science, i.e. on the knowledge of horse behaviour and learning processes. It has nothing to do with "horse whispering" or "ethological equitation".
This clinic is a joint organisation by the Laboratory of Ethology from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Ghent University and the organisation EquiProCo. Pioneering work on horse behaviour has been carried out at Ghent University by Prof. F.O. Ödberg since nearly 40 years. The organisation EquiProCo (www.equiproco.be) cares for the treatment of behavioural problems of horses. The acting therapist is Aymeline de Cartier (Lic.Psychol. UCL, M.Sc. in Animal Behaviour & Welfare, Edinburgh University) who trained at A. McLean's stables and completed her thesis under the supervision of Prof. Ödberg.
