About

Chloe is currently a Master’s student in Clinical Animal Behaviour at the University of Lincoln, working towards becoming a Certified Clinical Animal Behaviourist. She is also working towards examinations in becoming a Certified Equine Behaviour Consultant with the International Association for Animal Behaviour Consultants (IAABC).

Chloe has spent most of her life dedicated to horses.

Her passion began at age 4 when she began riding friend’s horses and by the age of 9, she was competing at local show jumping competitions. Since then, she has gained long-term working experience in various equestrian facilities alongside her studies, such as riding schools, equine charities, Thoroughbred bloodstock agencies, eventing, and stud yards. One of which, a show jumping competition and stud facility which she worked as an international groom for up to CSI 5* shows across the UK, Europe, and Africa for 5 years. Chloe has gained extensive and successful experiences in equine nutrition, young horse training, performance preparation and enhancement with a large range of horses.

After working in various facilities in the industry across the world, there would often be behavioural issues Chloe and her colleagues would come across that were often unresolved or would even worsen. A particular case was a semi-feral and aggressive horse at a rescue charity that had to be in a field virtually unhandled until an equine behaviourist visited the establishment to discuss the behaviour and solutions. Experiencing and assisting in the improvement of this horse inspired Chloe’s equine behaviour pathway to positive management and training.

Chloe always had an interest in human psychology, but after completing her Level 3 in Horse Management, she decided to combine her experience and interests and complete a BSc (Hons) in Equine Behavioural Science at Writtle University College. Chloe was recognised as being the highest achieved across equine and canine courses at her university and is currently putting her scientific and behavioural knowledge towards the industry by working alongside organisations to spread informed behavioural information to horse owners to improve the lives of their horses; most prolifically the International Society for Equitation Science.

She frequently attends continued professional development (CPD) courses to follow up-to-date research findings in equine science and behaviour and is fully insured as an equine behaviour consultant and trainer.
