“Bonny has a sixth sense when it comes to equines her intuition and handling of them is amazing and I thank her from the bottom of my heart”
“It is a lot of content, there’s nothing out there like it, it is entirely unique — and represents your lifetime of work. You could double the price and it would be worth every penny.”

ABOUT
BONNY
LET ME HELP YOU HELP YOUR HORSE
Start Your Journey Towards a Deeper, More Meaningful Relationship with Your Horse
For over 20 years, I’ve worked as an Equine Podiatrist, connecting with horses across a wide spectrum, from domestic companions to wild equids in zoos and free-ranging conservation herds. I specialise in supporting sensitive souls and horses with troubled pasts, helping them find calmness, confidence, and trust.
To further enhance my expertise, I am undertaking an MSc in Equine Science at the University of Edinburgh, combining cutting-edge research with decades of hands-on experience. My ethological studies of wild and free-living herds have provided profound insights into equine behaviour, shaping my evidence-based, gentle approach to every horse I work with.
These diverse experiences have refined a compassionate, dynamic, and adaptable framework, earning recognition, awards, and the trust of professionals across the equine world. Horse owners, veterinarians, scientists, equine practitioners, and zookeepers regularly seek out my teaching to master low-stress, effective handling techniques. By emphasising a deep understanding of equine behaviour and the pivotal role of trust, this approach transforms relationships, fostering safer, more harmonious, and effective interactions between humans and horses. Its success lies in its versatility, seamlessly adapting to diverse environments and equids from all walks of life.
This framework is at the heart of the Wild Hearts Mentorship. Whether you’re working with a challenging horse, supporting a sensitive soul, looking to elevate your skills and expand your toolbox, or simply seeking to deepen your understanding, this tailored, compassionate approach is designed to meet you where you are. Whatever your challenges or motivations, the mentorship offers you the tools, insights, and support to strengthen your connection, transform your relationship, and embark on a truly meaningful journey with your horse.
