Horse behaviour can be tricky, but recognising the influence of the physical body is the real game changer.

As a biomechanical medicine vet I have seen first hand how poor posture, pain, and physical imbalance can show up as "bad behaviour".

The is why I am passionate about equipping you with the knowledge and practical skills to spot the early signs.

Through our comprehensive trainings you'll learn how to restore your horse’s true potential through the power of functional posture, helping them feel better, move better and behave better!

Veterinarian, posture and biomechanical medicine specialist, and lifelong horsewoman, Dr. Raquel Butler helps horse owners and equine professionals uncover the hidden physical issues behind “behavioural” problems.

Her journey began in childhood, but it was her own horses - who bucked, reared, or refused to move - that opened her eyes to how pain and poor posture are so often misunderstood.

Raquel’s search for answers led her beyond conventional veterinary medicine into the world of anatomy, biomechanics, bodywork, and Animal Biomechanical Medicine. Mentored by leading experts like Dr. Ian Bidstrup and Dr. Sharon May-Davis, she now brings a unique, holistic lens to equine care.

Through Integrated Veterinary Therapeutics, Raquel helps horse owners and equine professionals tune into what the horse’s body is saying. This enables you to take action to optimise your horse's functional posture and enhance their performance, health and well being.

“I’ve owned and treated horses who were punished for being "difficult" - only to discover they were in pain. This class is about giving horses a voice - and giving you the tools to hear them clearly so you know how to help them.”

~ Dr Raquel
