    Hoofstock Behavioral Training and Consulting

    Introducing Texas Zebra, a hoofstock behavioral training and consulting firm that offers a variety of services including on-site consultation, training and clinics for a multitude of Hoofstock, specializing in zebras. From private animal owners to wildlife parks, zoos and animal sanctuaries, we can help solve problems such as aggression, destructive behaviors, fear and breeding issues. Our trainers can help work out exercise programs and feeding schedules that best suit the needs of the individual animals. We will work with animals being trained for movies, commercials and educational demonstrations with hands-on training as well as a more natural setting in wildlife parks with minimal interference. Working with animals on-site allows us to see the animal’s environments and behaviors first-hand and helps to create solutions that work!

    Our website is currently under construction so check back with us; we will be posting the address on this board. Please email us if you have any questions, comments or suggestions that you would like to share.

    Our trainers have worked in a variety of environments with many common problems faced by owners and/or handlers of captive hoofstock. One of the most common problems we are called to help with on zebras are aggression issues, zebras who charge the fence, handlers or other animals sharing the enclosure. Most often, the zebras are demanding feed, defending territory/herd/mates, or attempting to possess the handlers or other animals. This can be especially dangerous on safari-type wildlife parks where visitors actually enter the enclosures with the animals. There are a variety of ways to deal with issues such as these, all depending on the individual animal, their environment and the needs of the handlers. Other issues include separation anxiety when it becomes necessary to remove a member of the herd temporarily or permanently. Zebras and other hoofstock can seriously injure themselves and damage fences. Currently, we have served clients in the United States, but welcome inquiries from around the world and are willing to travel anywhere. Referrals are available on request. We also welcome any input and suggestions that might help us better serve our customers.
    Thank you for your interest,

    The Texas Zebra website is under construction and we will have it up as soon as possible with more photos, stories and bios on our trainers and animals we have worked with. We are currently contracting with a breeder to hand-raise and train zebra foals to future owners specifications. We are now taking reservations on foals, 4-6 months old that have basic training or specialized training to suit the future owner/facilities needs. We also have breeding services available for Grants zebras and zebra hybrids.
    Here are some photos of a couple of recent jobs.
