In Conversation with Kate Blackmore

 A relaxed natter with the lovely Kate Blackmore about her new venture- Equischolars! Kate Blackmore is Head of Welfare at the Conquest Centre, equine behaviour consultant with Equilogical and founder of Equischolars – stewards of the   horse. Kate started volunteering at Conquest in 2012, became a groom, RDA GI, yard manager, deputy manager before going onto study for her behavioural consultancy qualification with the NAC. She then set up my own consultancy business, Equilogical, and joined forces with Becky Baylis from Little Green Stables to bring out the Equilogical podcast and create a Patreon site which follows training journeys (warts and all!). This led her onto develop a new curriculum called EquiScholars, an activity based modular course on equine behaviour, pulling from not only her own experience of working with kids but harnessing all the golden nuggets from the team at Conquest. Based in Taunton, Somerset, Kate is passionate about opening up the playing field for the future equestrian generations and show that there is more than one way to work and be with horses.
