Felicity George BSc MPhil EBA REPS
Equine Psychology Specialist
Felicity has a strong background in science, completing a BSc and an MPhil at Edinburgh University in the 1990’s, and then working there as a research scientist.
Her love of horses has been lifelong. She has worked with horses on a voluntary or part time basis for nearly 30 years; at riding schools, competition yards and rescue centres. She has a horse and a pony of her own.
In 2009 Felicity brought together her interests in science and horses and trained to be an equine behaviourist. Since qualifying, she has worked full time in this area, helping clients with their horses and running courses on equine behaviour. Felicity is co-author of ‘Applied Equine Psychology: The art and science of helping horses’ and also contributed a chapter on riding instruction to ‘Equine Behaviour in Mind: Applying Behavioural Science to the Way We Keep, Work and Care for Horses’.
She is chairperson of the Equine Behaviour Affiliation (EBA), and an EBA Registered Equine Psychology Specialist.
Her blog and videos should give a clear, if informal, picture of her approach to working with horses. A selection of webinars she has presented can be found at webinars.
Felicity’s approach to helping equines is constantly evolving, informed by study of therapeutic approaches to behaviour problems in all species, including humans and practical experience.
