Philosophy
Explore with me the fascinating Connection between People and Horses, blending evolutionary Psychology and wild Horse Behaviour.
Professional
Hi, I’m Britta, and with People & Horses, I combine my professional experiences as a registered counsellor, mediator, and lawyer with my passion for horses. My background in evolutionary psychology and human resources is especially valuable as it allowed me to gain deep insights into social interactions, ways of communication, conflict resolution, and personal growth.
Horsey
Horses have their own stories and also often mirror our themes and past experiences. And this is why I’m convinced we have exactly the horse by our side that challenges us the most, but with which we can also learn, grow and develop the most.
Passionate
My main field of interest is developmental and evolutionary psychology, especially attachment theory including the relationship styles developing from an insecure attachment, such as people-pleasing, controlling, or chronic caretaking, and in which ways we live these patterns in relationships with people and yes, our animals. Horses have fascinated me since I was a teen, and today I’m very lucky to share my life with four horses.
Inspiring
Discovering Marc Lubetzki’s masterclass ‘Wild Horses’ meant for me I had to let go of almost everything I thought I knew about horses, and it immediately reminded me of my own research in evolutionary psychology and how much impact our ‘modern’ way of life has on our basic trust, confidence, and overall wellbeing. For horses, it’s the same. So, if we’re looking for a relationship on eye level, we have to take a holistic approach.

The Personal Me
Counselor
A Magic dwells in each Beginning
I moved 21 times, including to another continent. Favorite movie: 4 Weddings and 1 Funeral. Favorite author: Elizabeth George. I have now visited every continent, and am already looking forward to my new adventures of filming wild Horses in Exmoor National Park. Since I volunteered in an animal shelter I’m very passionate about rescuing animals in need. I eat a plant-based diet and absorb as much as I can about consciousness, spirituality, and duality.
