The Herd Dynamic Performance Profile

The Herd Dynamic Performance Profile

Signature Service by Kerry M. Thomas

Herd Dynamics Matter; every horse, every discipline, everywhere.

Discover the Operating System Running the Machine™

​

The Herd Dynamic Performance Profile is our flagship service—a comprehensive psychological evaluation tailored for horses of all breeds and disciplines. It’s not just about what your horse does, but why they do it. We go beyond behavior, beyond training, to decode the emotional and sensory system driving your horse’s performance.

Whether you’re preparing a young horse for a career, troubleshooting behavioral issues, seeking a deeper bond, or making critical breeding or purchasing decisions—this service is your horse’s owner’s manual and relationship guide.

​

Available Worldwide Through Video Analysis

​

At the heart of every evaluation is video analysis—a cornerstone of our work. Even in cases where in-person assessments are possible, video is always collected and reviewed to study subtle, often imperceptible, psychological cues. This ensures a more complete picture of your horse’s emotional processing and behavioral patterns.

​

Remote video analysis allows us to:

​

• Offer cost-effective service options

• Eliminate travel barriers

• Help more horses and humans, no matter where they are in the world

 

If you have a horse, you have access—no matter where your barn is located.

​
