As one of the founder members of the EPA Bonny has been practising and promoting responsible hoofcare since 2005. She offers experienced advice, support and workshops for owners of equines on their barefoot journey. Combining this with skilled and compassionate handling techniques and an in depth understanding of species appropriate management that can be realistically implemented in a domestic setting.

Living and working on the west coast of Scotland has brought many challenges, all of which have been learnt from and integrated into the achievable, structured and appropriate advice that Bonny is able to offer.

Passionate about her profession, Bonny is currently a MSc student studying Equine Science at the University of Edinburgh (Dick vet). Bonny believes strongly in a holistic approach and is grateful to have an established network of equine practitioners specialising in other areas to call on, as well as the vast knowledge and experience of her fellow EPs which is generously shared whenever needed.

Bonny specialises in working with wild and unhandled equines, finding low stress and effective ways to handle them for any necessary interventions. She runs courses teaching zoo keepers, vets and other equine professionals these techniques. Bonny is a frequent writer for equine magazines and delivers popular presentations at conferences. 

Bonny regularly collaborates with Dr Emily Kieson offering Learning Wild equine behaviour courses and is involved in Emily’s research looking at  affiliate behaviours between horses and horses and humans. She travels worldwide to study free-living equines and is passionate about sharing this vitally important information with all those who are interested.
