Do you hear the call of the horses?
This comprehensive training program is suitable for coaches, educators, facilitators, equine professionals, wellness practitioners, and other individuals who are looking for practical training and experience in developing FEEL (Facilitated Equine Experiential Learning)® programs in the expanding field of Equine Assisted Learning and guided healing.
Participants discover their unique gifts and innate talents as they find their niche in this emerging field.
Who are your teachers?
At Horse Spirit Connections®, life changing equine programs have been offered for people of all ages and walks of life since 2005. We are inspired by the incredible transformations in people and continue to offer workshops and private sessions where profound connections are made with our wise partners and teachers – the horses.
Wanting to impact even more people through the healing effect of horses, the FEEL Certification Program was founded in 2008. We are proud to offer the FEEL Certification programs through the expertise and experience of dynamic individuals with unique gifts and diverse experience.
Participants learn to create a horse-centered, experiential learning environment that supports personal discovery using a gentle process. Throughout the training, prospective FEEL facilitators gain self- knowledge and acquire skills and experience to develop their own FEEL programs where horses are valued for their roles as teachers and therapists. Our certified graduates are now practicing across Canada, the United States, Sweden and abroad.
“I've investigated several equine assisted learning programs in the United States, and I'm even certified in one of the major ones. However, I didn't find exactly what I was searching for until I found the FEEL program. It adds a spirituality component, it's delivered in a beautiful sacred setting on a beautiful farm, the FEEL horse partners are incredible, and the facilitators are wonderful! I finally feel like I have the right foundation to start my equine assisted learning work now that I'm a FEEL grad.”
Dr. Shirley Waterhouse, Florida
“I found the FEEL program to be incredibly transformational and valuable! I felt hugely supported in being able to develop myself and evolve into both the person I truly wanted to be, as well as create a career path for myself in perfect alignment with the work I want to be doing. FEEL has a beautiful, unique community of beautiful horses and people, doing beautiful things for both people and horses.”
Alex R. Toronto, Ontario

“What an incredible experience taking the FEEL Program. This program opened the door for me to step into becoming more of the type of leader I have always wanted to be. I gained invaluable insights that will empower me for the rest of my life. Andre, the co-facilitators, and the horses, created a very safe place for me to learn the skills needed to facilitate equine based learning experiences for others. Through this program I developed more confidence, trusting, and believing in myself. It was an honor to be a part of a certification program that held such high integrity. I would highly recommend this program!”
Janice de Ville - Boulder, Colorado
“The FEEL program taught me a great deal about myself and horses, as well as the incredible connections that can happen between horses and humans. It exceeded my expectations by a large margin. I could never have imagined all that FEEL could bring into my life: renewed faith in myself, an incredible bonding process with horses and the beginning of a new adventure in my life that resonates deeply in my heart and soul as being the right one for me. A transformational and life-changing experience.”

“The FEEL Facilitator Training Program completely transformed my life. Through the profound wisdom of the horses, the supportive community, and the beautifully guided teachings, I was able to reconnect with my authentic self in the most powerful way. This training not only helped me heal, but also gave me the tools to step into my true calling, holding space for others to do the same. FEEL didn't just change my path, it gave me my life back, and for that I am endlessly grateful.”

This program helped me develop confidence, facilitation skills, and most importantly, trust in the horses and the power of this work. I would recommend this experience to anyone ready to travel inwards and be guided towards personal and professional growth by their horse partner.:
