Herd Dynamic Profiling 

"unique services to enhance your journey, deepen your understanding & strengthen your relationship"

HD Profiling measures several key psychological components and an overall Herd Dynamic Power rating, HDP score, is included when enough data points are available to make that determination. HDP is an assessment of independent nature applicable to competitive edge during performance. You can also call it the “Grit” score.

The Herd Dynamic make up plays an essential role in every horse’s life be they pleasure horse or athlete. From the breeding shed to the race track, a trail ride through the forest, in the dressage ring or show-jumping arena, knowing who the horse is reveals a great deal about what they can achieve. If you are not working with the herd dynamics, you are working against them. We must be ever mindful that performance is driven by emotion; to be athletic is physical, to be an athlete, is psychological.

HD TIP: “We must determine what engages the horses’ competitive nature in order to properly nurture and develop those expressions which define in the athlete, competitive edge.” ~Kerry M Thomas

“What are the herd dynamics? The herd dynamics are those naturally occurring traits, tendencies and characteristics that make up the individual psychology and where this places the horse in the hierarchy of the herd structure. It is in short, the operating system of the physical machine.” THT

Coaching

HD TIP: “I view desensitization as largely unstable, exposed to the arbitrary nature of association. 

I would rather look to nurturing proper interpretations as a more natural way to sustain assimilation. 

Sensory Soundness is the key to both athletic ability an emotional wellness.” ~Kerry

HD TIP: "If the emotional horse is not prepared for or naturally equipped for the demands of their discipline, 

their physical type and pedigree is just a photo-op."

What To Expect? A course designed to strengthen your relationship.

In hand and in-saddle, cross country or arena; course and curriculum can only be properly designed when the horse comes first, their discipline collateral to who they are and what they are capable of.
