Katja Korsch brings a unique blend of proven scientific learning theory with the art of Classical horsemanship to help you realize the best possible relationship with your horse. ​

​

With a solid background in equine ethology and cognition, Katja has a knack for combining the science of learning with the "art" of feel and timing to solve behavior issues and help horses understand what is wanted by using the least aversive methods in a kind and non-threatening way. Not only that, but the horses begin to genuinely enjoy and look forward to doing their job!

​

Katja's training method is for both horse and handler, and is equally effective in mounted or unmounted situations. 

​

Katja is proud to be the Equine Behavior Technician for Veterinary Behavior Consultants of Alabama. Together with Dr. Jenny Biehunko, Katja can help you formulate a plan to modify the behavior of horses with issues such as

​​

• Severe fears and phobias

• Desensitization to medical procedures

• Impossible to catch/feral

• Refusal to load on trailer

​​

If you are unsure which category your horse falls into, Katja can assist you in scheduling your appointment! A link to the VBCA scheduler will soon also be available on this site. In the meantime, just contact Katja directly!

​

The same training principles that Katja uses with great success in treating severe behavior cases logically work just as effectively in everyday training! Just things like ground manners and training your horse up the levels under saddle become much easier when you have a good grasp of the scientific principles of learning and making things more understandable for your horse. Students are often shocked at how quickly their horses advance, not to mention really begin to love what they do!
