Stripe- did you have anything to confirm that EquiEd has government funding in New Zealand? When Becks Naorn participates in learning, and any funding is made by TEC or the government, this joint must be disbanded now. You do not want such an operation running in Aotearoa. In case you have the info, leave the link. Individuals must have a channel with which to complain and seek an accountability.

lol When Becks Nairn continues to cut up horses and use it as education, Equi-ed can just as well throw a tent belonging to a lawyer and a beanbag belonging to a shrink at the front door. Entering the trauma trough- your certificate, your court summons, your mid life meltdown on the exit.

My Wife lectures at a University She reckons Equi-ed is skating on thin ice, and she is not mistaken. They are positioning the horse dissection course run by Becks Nairn as professional training, avoiding veterinary supervision, peer-reviewed support, and explicit accreditation. They are bringing saddle fitters, therapists, even vets, into an arrangement that is unclear between observational learning and clinical authority. In case a person uses those unproven anatomical assertions in practice and it backfires, or the cadaver mishandling does not follow biohazard regulations, they are in trouble. Add some mud to the badge of the UK Rural Skills, and it all begins to appear like smoke and mirrors. Not dodgy, that is a regulatory nightmare that is about to explode.

Well of course vets are going the vets--how come nobody would not want to learn equine anatomy of a Muppet named Miss Piggy Nairn with a scalpel in her pig trotters who will be half-bragging about eyelid surgery and have an elbow in a thoracic cavity.

Mate, you’re not missing a thing. You were simply told that horse schooling is still conducted on credentials not costumes and cover-ups. Miss Piggy has been flying back and forth between Ireland and Scotland, disembowelling horses that cost 1200 to attend an amateur butcher course, amidst Equid Ed playing human shield. Stick a badge saying you are an affiliate on and a hobbyist who has no qualification gets to be a vet school. It is not teaching, it is backyard butchery using PowerPoint. And now it’s escalated. The newest stunt offered by Equid Ed is not a hobbyist stunt anymore. They are selling it to students, even to real vets. The woman who posted on the other forum? She is not disoriented--she is calling out. She is identifying the breach, not seeking clarification. Since when you put the amateur, who has not been trained at all, in front of professionals, you are not pushing the limits, you are running over them. No, then you are not missing something. You are looking at the horse market being sewn up as you speak. And Miss Piggy is coining it

Holy schmoley, Stripe--Miss Piggy, the first fake vet pathologist in New Zealand, is going to Scotland to instruct real vets. Delusion, drama and scalpel now seem to be qualifications apparently. She says she is capable of shoeing any evidence. Shoe it? Mate, she could not even shod a rocking horse. She is a fine one, all right--a Miss Piggy fine one. Pretty woman costume, fan club and a pathology prop kit. She is not educating, she is acting. And she is out here now recruiting her followers as though it is a science cosplay boot camp. It’s not research. It’s theatre. And the crowd? They are supposed to applaud as the evidence is taken on a tour. Before you know it, the trumpets will blow, the audience will be cheering, and she will be on the podium, fresh after a tummy tuck, ass lift, and fat suction, to come in another round of global boasting. You’ve gotta love Miss Piggy. She doesn’t publish. She parades.

Attitude: Cold, Defensive, and Running from Accountability — Becks Nairn Becks Nairn showed a serious lack of feeling in the way she responded to the Hanmer accident, where a young girl was kicked in the face by a horse. A child’s nose was smashed. Her father had to carry her, bleeding, for over a kilometre. And what did Nairn offer? Not a shred of compassion. Not a hint of concern. Just a pile of excuses. She claimed the guide “froze.” She said the father “took off.” She spoke of regulations and procedures as if they somehow justified doing nothing. But where was the humanity? Where was the apology? Where was the basic decency to say, “This should never have happened”? Instead, she treated it like a PR crisis. It didn’t seem to matter whether the child recovered—only that the business reputation stayed intact. And that’s not new. Nairn has had business failures before, quietly swept under the carpet. She moves quickly, evades responsibility, and never gets close enough to be held accountable. You don’t get the truth. You get fragments—filtered, trimmed, and self-aggrandising. That article was sent to me by a woman from the south, and I was enraged. Not just by the accident, but by Nairn’s attitude. The coldness. The lack of ownership. It makes you wonder what else has been masked. I couldn’t help but laugh when she called herself a “director.” A tin-pot trekking enterprise she couldn’t manage. Then she quotes herself as working with “the best in the world”—despite having no formal education. How grandiose can you get? This wasn’t leadership. It was evasion dressed up as professionalism. And the public deserves better.I There is more to post at a later stage

I read that she was doing her block when someone reported her to MPI by a vet or vets. I can guess that she must have been able to charm the inspector on the phone and escape an actual inspection. Somehow, she has been cleared so that she can resume her job, although she has a track record of evading responsibility and confrontation according to what I have read. I suppose they did inspect that spooky Learning Centre- there is even the word that holy water might have been used- lol but I would wager that she has not toed the line since. It appears that not one vet has lodged complaints against her, and she has been dismissive, even to the point of calling one a nutter or funny head in the head. That is so disrespectful, particularly of someone who would not be the depth, nor the integrity, that vet most definitely is. Remember her quote from the podcast, " I work with the best in the world, and my education has cost me a fortune " lol What education? The more I get to know about this woman, the more I feel that she works behind the smokescreen, manipulating other people to her advantage. It is not the horses, but about her and her craving to be validated and the show she has made about herself online

I'm surprised MPI aren't on top of this. I read that Nairn claimed MPI had inspected her, but I highly doubt that ever happened. She’s a schemer—knows how to maneuver around authority with charisma and sweet talk like an old pro. The issue at hand is the Learning Centre funded by Equi-ed. It’s directly connected to Nairn and operates more like a butcher shop than a legitimate educational institution. If Equi-ed supports this, they’re not just approving unqualified dissections—they’re actively facilitating them. Considering the risks to people, students and animal welfare, I’m genuinely amazed MPI hasn’t intervened. When Equi-ed vindicates unqualified dissections, it’s not merely immoral—it’s hazardous.

I read somewhere that Equi-ed were planning to run courses at the Creepy Learning Centre, with Becks Nairn set to lecture. ( If she isn't doing it now )That’s a serious concern. My issue with Equi-ed is their connection to a rural institution that covers Nairn’s lack of qualifications. By doing so, they’re effectively legitimising dissections carried out by individuals like her—unqualified and delusional. That’s where things become dangerous. When one inexperienced person starts dissecting horses for profit, others are likely to follow. This trend is deeply troubling to the veterinary community. In New Zealand, I believe the authorities will come down on Equi-ed like a ton of bricks. Nairn is neither a qualified instructor nor a certified dissectionist, and it’s disturbing that Equi-ed is hiring someone like her just to fill seats and collect money for courses that are, in essence, rubbish. This is what Nairn is cashing in on—and it’s putting professional standards, students, and animal welfare at serious risk.

Becks Nairn says the horse was fridge-gassed and that she dissected it, but she has not shown hard hoof evidence to prove it. She performs dissections even though she is not qualified as a professional, which is incredibly disproportionate. Others are currently attempting to turn the story around—that she is saving the inept on behalf of the unaware by blowing the whistle over Arcano possibly being taken in by performance enhancements and defending those who were purportedly defrauded in betting on that race. However, when that is her stand, then where is the transparency? Where is the verifiable evidence? If she is truly working in the interests of the people, what is the reason to do it behind paywalls and empty promises? You cannot claim to be saving the vulnerable while profiting from unregulated and unqualified practices. Fresh in mind: Nairn was three times a profiteer of Arcano. She passed her unsound horse through a charity and sold him to a purchaser who suffered a loss. Nairn ought to have been required to reimburse the purchase cost and the schooling expense she had imposed, a purported $250 per week over six weeks. So who is actually being ripped off?

Stipe you hit the nail on the head Something is amiss with what Equi-ed and Becks Nairn are up to . Even though Nairn has no recognised qualification to teach professionals or even carry out dissections, he is conducting paid courses in Ireland and Scotland that are accredited as CPD. These are not informal workshops but organised, costly classes which are sold to vets, therapists and saddle fitters. Students are disbursing more than NZD 1, 200 and professional development credit is being issued to them. It is not only misleading, but it is a possible violation of professional standards . They are attempting now, using the same shady model, to do the same in New Zealand. Equi-ed is supporting her once more, this time with a spooky Learning Centre that she is boasting of on the internet. People have been discussing what they do there and it is very worrying. MPs are not going to do anything and the local vets appear to close their eyes- but people want to know. Equi-ed have sold her as an internationally recognized one, when in real sense, she is a low-level horse butcher with no credentials They are the ones that market her and provide her a platform not only in New Zealand, but also in Ireland and Scotland. When Equi-ed considers that someone like Nairn is fit to impart professional training then it speaks volumes of what kind of learning they are providing. And it is puzzling that nothing has so far been done in Ireland or Scotland. This should be researched. Nairn is not a qualified teacher or dissector. She is not under control like real professionals. Ripping off students and interns through unaccredited and unregulated training is an outrage and is putting the integrity of the industry in danger. This can only be closed down by publicity and official complaints. Speak up, if you are in the equine or veterinary or have attended one of these courses. It is not merely a question of an individual. It is what protects standards, students and animals.

Even a vet said to her online that in case she wants to teach people, she needs to have an actual degree in anatomy, as it would make the followers accurate and confident. And she has no qualifications, she is merely dispensing false information that is not only dishonest but can be quite detrimental to the welfare of horses. Nairn rejected that she was teaching, indicated that she does not require a degree, and boasted of being able to afford the best anatomy books. Congratulations - the first self-proclaimed vet in NZ with no qualifications, a bookshelf. Then the following breath, she is running clinics. In one dressage message board, someone has enquired whether she competes at a high level and whether she has won any major competitions. She said she rides at GP level but when questioned to provide evidence, she could not give anything but only indicated that she had videos on Facebook. High-level dressage riding apparently translates to because I said so.

Posted 45 minutes ago Look at her latest post. This is the "Independent Equine Research and Therapy Laboratory"! Give me a break! It fails all the basic protocols for an evidential lab let alone an amateur dissection lab! @Gammalite these nuttters have only one objective and that is to fuel conspiracies about the racing industry. By the way "taking it to the Next Level" was to install solar panels! One Year of Learning, Growth, and Connection lol

The Irish organization that supports Becks Nairn is Equi-ed that is a member of UK Rural Skills Accreditation EMA. Equi-ed provides courses in equine dissection under the direction of Nairn and markets it as a learning course in the fields of anatomy and biomechanics.lol But they also endorse that troubling institution that Nairn performs her paid dissections in - a place that has been described by many as a place of chaos and cultishness, with more than its share of eccentricities, such as so-called holy water. Equi-ed is pathetically justifying the dissections by amateurs such as Nairn. The lectures she gives are comedic but students are paid real money to attend them. And it is unbelievable--I never saw anything of the kind. The whole arrangement gives the illusion of the credibility to a person who is not adequately qualified, and it is highly upsetting to consider that this is being presented as education.
