Having done dozens of clinics, this is the first time I align so well with
the material being taught. The scientific aspect of the method appeals to
me, as I am a biologist.
Whether for young horses, horses with behavioural problems or simply
to offer them an environment more suited to their needs, Sandy's
technique and course are part of my daily life and helps me to
communicate better with all types of horses.
Sandy Letarte is a graduate of the Institut de technologie agroalimentaire du Québec (ITAQ). The largest French-language agricultural technological training center in North America. Letarte went on to establish Équin Communication. She’s an Equine technician specialized in behaviour, and she’s been working in the field for more than 25 years.
From the start, Sandy Letarte immersed herself in horse watching : systematically observing interactions between male and female of all ages, living in various groups of domesticated and semi-wild herds. The data she collected allowed her to see the link between modes of communication of horses living in semi-wild herds and that of domesticated herds. Through this research, Letarte was able to demonstrate the merits of applying this knowledge on horses living in close contact with humans.
Sandy Letarte’s expertise in the field of equine behaviour extends well beyond field intervention, which produces astonishing results. She is asked to offer training and invited to speak about her work. In order to meet the demands, she founding Équin Communication, which has two main objectives:
-Better communication between horses and humans; -and the resolution of behavioural problems in equines.
Équin Communication is a consulting and teaching company in equine behavior.
