Equine Assisted Coach Training & Certification

This is the cornerstone of The Freedom Way®.
Our Equine-Assisted Coach Training & Certification program prepares coaches to work skillfully, ethically, and intuitively with horses and humans—through experiential learning, embodied practice, and deep respect for the horse–human relationship.
This training is not about scripts or formulas. It is about learning to:

Partner with the horse as an active participant in the session

Hold clients with presence, clarity, and emotional intelligence
