Program Details:

This 20-hour certification program qualifies you as a practitioner upon completion. It is typically offered as part of a fully immersive retreat, where students engage in a transformative journey of learning—about the program, themselves, and the horse—simultaneously.

The curriculum includes tools such as mindfulness, meditation, energy exchange, and an in-depth understanding of horse and herd behavior. These elements help students deepen their self-awareness while gaining insight into the equine experience.

The program blends instructional time with practice sessions alongside horses. These sessions, held in private or group settings, guide students in becoming part of the herd through quiet, mindful presence. The horses are not asked to perform; instead, they simply share space and reflect the student’s energetic state, in alignment with the program’s principles.

Upon certification, graduates are qualified to work professionally with people, horses, or both together through Equine-Assisted Education (EAE).

Program outline:

Module 1: Mindfulness and the Horse

Explore the power of present-moment awareness through the lens of the horse. Learn how mindfulness enhances your connection to yourself and the horse, and how equine presence naturally invites stillness, clarity, and calm.

Module 2: Meditation and the Horse

Discover meditation as a shared experience between human and horse. This module introduces accessible meditation techniques and how horses respond to—and often join in—these peaceful, heart-centered states.

Module 3: Energy Exchange with the Horse

Learn how to sense, regulate, and share energy with horses. Through subtle cues and awareness, you’ll begin to understand the energetic language horses speak and how to harmonize your own energy in response.

Module 4: The Journey into the Herd

Experience what it means to truly become part of the herd. In this final module, you’ll integrate all previous teachings as you enter the horse’s world with respect, receptivity, and a deepened sense of self-awareness and connection.
