Holistic Consultation

Service Description

Before any training plan can work, the conditions for learning have to be right. A horse in pain, with unmet social needs, or an incomplete diet is operating in survival mode — and no methodology can fully compensate for that. This assessment looks at the whole picture and gives you a concrete set of actions you can take right now, even before a single formal training session begins. What's included Detailed intake questionnaire — environment (friends, freedom, forage), diet, health history, known trauma or triggers, and current training status One-hour Zoom consultation with MacKenzie and Jessica — teasing apart what's a training problem and what's a health or environment problem is one of the hardest things to do alone Written assessment report with specific recommendations across health red flags (pain, ulcers, anxiety), environment, diet, and supplementation Immediate care protocols — practical guidance for deworming, hoof care, and other welfare needs for horses you can't yet get close to, so you're not choosing between their care and their trust Vet conversation starters — including honest guidance on when anxiety support may meaningfully accelerate training progress
