Horse Medicine Leadership:

Online Certification Training

 

Welcome to horse medicine leadership online certification training.

We wanted to create a program that would bring the full pillars of our philosophy and teaching into an online program to support those that are seeking to enhance, begin and further develop their skills and confidence as an equine facilitator.

This program encompasses what we hold as our core teaching philosophy that we feel creates and develops mastery, not just in our facilitation skills, but also in how we hold our horse partners and our equine business.

If you are starting the journey of becoming an equine facilitator, continuing that journey with further development or are a part of our two year full certification program, this is a place that will support you in your journey.

Our horse medicine leadership is a 10 month journey, where you also receive lifetime access, meaning that you can continue to deepen your knowledge and journey with us each year without an expiration date.

The reason we have created this program this way is because we appreciate life happens and can be busy, and we wanted to create a spaciousness in which you are able to move through the program and be able to come back as needed, so you continue to have community support.

At the completion of this program and practicum you will receive a certificate of completion for this online training program, this program can be a wonderful complement to other training, or can be taken on its own.

We do recommend coming to our in person training retreats as well, and if that is not accessible to you, we have included a robust program of teaching and practicum in this online program to support you in your journey.

The modules that we go through include:

  • Creating Safety and Sacred Space in our Equine Practice:

    This module series includes how we cultivate this safety for clients and our horse partners. In this module we talk about all places this is needed to be held, in our physical environment, mental, emotional, spiritual and the practical pieces that support this.

  • Self Leadership as a Facilitator

    To be in our integrity as a facilitator we need to understand how we tend to and hold our own self leadership, this module series provides practices, teachings and self reflection that allow us to be responsible in our impact and how to support our own journey as human beings.

  • Honoring our Horse Partners

    A core pillar in horse medicine leadership is how we are in relationship with our horse partners, this module series provides a depth around how we understand horses as beings both physical and intuitive, and how to support them in our practice. What true co-creation and co-facilitation looks like and how to empower the unique medicine of our horse partners. This module also is supportive of how do we call in our horse partners and also honor our current ones.

  • Facilitation and Leadership Development

    This goes beyond just learning how to facilitate an activity, this module series provides skill building presence, and facilitation to support our clients in how they show up to a session. This module is also meant to empower and create confidence in our skills and build mastery in how we hold and guide each person during a session with our horses. If you are lacking in facilitation and leadership skills, this module will give you a robust and supportive skill set for you to feel confident in.

  • Core themes and Teachings of Horse Medicine

    How do we bring language to what horses and their consciousness and way of life bring to our experience we cultivate for those we serve? This module series deepens into the teachings and way of horse medicine and how to weave and integrate these teachings and themes into our equine practice.

  • Activities and Exercises

    This module series is where we can build our toolbox and be supported through a range of activities and exercises that are all horse lead, with supporting the consent of our horse partners and empowering them in how we create our experience for our clients. This module seeks to support you in what your equine practice will look like and provides you with ideas and examples of what exercises you can bring into your practice depending on the experience you want to curate and the clients that you are creating for.

  • Business Mentorship and Support

    Developing and supporting our equine practice and business is an important aspect and part of what we like to support for anyone that goes through our program. This module series includes our business mastery program and 4 mentorship calls to support the equine practice and what arises as we are starting or growing our equine business.


Our module series includes, written and audio recordings, teaching videos to accompany, plus live teaching calls to deepen the teachings and support any questions that arise as you go through the material.

Testimonials:

I can not say enough about the online Training that Hillary and Brittany offered as an online training; the content, the individual attention and the genuine support for each participant was amazing! This training has opened me up to a much deeper understanding not only of my horses but of how I wish to show up with them for our clients.

Having Partnered with my Herd 5 years ago and taken another formal training I came with some

experience and ideas as to how I wanted to partner with my Herd; I knew from following Hillary online and having taken the Neuroscience and Horses training that I was in a safe container and everything we covered was in full alignment with my own work!

The weekly calls were jam packed with information and ideas, not just from Hillary and Britt but from the other students – there was such a terrific level of sharing and support! I was so impressed with the number of Facilitators and the various ways we are showing up with our Horses! The community forum offered a space to share information, ask questions and just Be with each other and I love knowing that it is there if I run into a problem or have something I’d like to share! Highly recommend this training … and I cannot wait to one day be at Epona Rise for a Retreat!
