EGL Certification Training
All over the world, equine assisted modalities are quickly becoming recognized as a powerful and valuable learning method for human transformation and healing. The demand for qualified EGL facilitators and coaches has opened opportunities to create rewarding and thriving careers in this expanding field. EGL practitioners are finding their niche with specialty topics in areas of personal, spiritual and professional development. EGL goes much deeper than a feel good experience; it has the potential to create the positive change you want to see in the world. It can empower people to heal emotional trauma, become inspirational leaders and live a life of purpose and joy. Imagine being able to fuse your passion of horses with the passion to help others for the ultimate dream career. Not only will you and the horses assist others to make a shift to a more compelling future, you will be on a personal path of enriching your own life on every level. Come join us and be part of a growing community and start a new journey of self exploration and elevation. The world is waiting.

This is a comprehensive hands on training program that will prepare you to be confident and proficient at facilitating workshops and coaching through Equine Guided Learning. We train you to be a professional with credibility to your practice. This is not like other training programs that teach you how to “use” the horse as a “tool” to play games with. At EquuSpirit Partnership, we “partner” with and honor the horse as a sentient being, no greater or less than ourselves. We foster a kinship with our horse teachers as well as well as our students. Our style is in the same experiential learning model that is the basis of all our programs, learning by doing with reflection. The training program incorporates philosophies and practices from Epona, Gestalt,  NLP, Liberty Horsemanship and Earth/Heart based practices. Effective coaching and facilitating requires keen intuition and powerful questioning to help get to the core where the real shift in perspective can occur, leading to more sustainable results for your clients. We teach our students to utilize all the information the client and the horses share and instinctively choose the appropriate follow through that is best for the client and the horse. Our goal of the program is to train you to be effective, mindful, sharp, inspirational, ethical, safe and most of all, successful in your career.
