Equine Guided Education

 

ARE YOU READY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

We like diversity, we want you to be you!

The world needs you and the unique perspective that only you can bring! Participants of the certification program come from a wide variety of backgrounds and experience. Our practitioners include educators, coaches, equestrians, teachers, college students, artists, therapists, shamans, healers, riding instructors, and other individuals who are or who want to incorporate horses into their professional offers. We love how diverse our students are and their creative applications of Tai Chi, Chi Gong, art therapy, yoga, meditation, aromatherapy, and other healing modalities. We are here to support your vision.

We encourage your unique style and 'way of being'

Our goal is to encourage you to expand on your existing skills as well as learn new skills. We are not focused on one particular methodology, but rather on the universal application of what horses can offer to healing and teaching models. You will be able to retain your current terminology and methods with an expanded vocabulary, understanding and knowledge of horses, humans and the learning process.

We focus on developing your ability to observe, recognize, and articulate the non-verbal/body language dynamics of the horse(s), yourself as the facilitator (translator), and your client. In addition, we encourage your unique style of facilitation versus a ‘cookie cutter’ methodology.

Learn how to hold an open, sacred space for transformation

We teach you how to hold an open space for healthy, transformative change for your clients. Best of all, we teach you how to 'FOLLOW THE HORSE'. The horse is YOUR guide too. We teach you how to listen and observe, rather than control, so you can let the horses do what they do best. The word, 'guide' means to take one into unknown or unfamiliar territory.  When you are able to create an energetically neutral space for your clients, the possibilities are limitless. In this sacred zone, people can transcend old limiting beliefs and somatic traumas and re-connect to their sense of self confidence and purpose in life. 

Develop your goals for the future

Ariana and The SkyHorse Team provide grounded coach mentoring to help you navigate the business side of turning your dream into reality.  We know this work is needed more now than ever. Equine Guided Coaching is not a fad, it's not an anomaly, it is grounded and has been growing leaps and bounds for over 30 years. The most important thing is you have to believe in yourself and never forget your dream can come true. 

Coaching out of the ordinary

Adding horses into the coaching and therapy process adds layers of complication that sessions in an office don't have. You don't know what is going to happen. You can't anticipate what the energetic presence of the horses might bring out in participants. Horses draw out the authentic, deeper aspects of the participants. The horses energetically mirror, not only a specific participant, but the group as a whole and you as a facilitator. Not to mention, you can't control the weather or the surrounding barn life. We teach you how to have a flexible plan, to embody your teaching points and to follow the horse versus sticking to an agenda that is out of alignment with what is really happening. 

For new and seasoned professionals

We know from experience that to incorporate horses into your professional offer requires additional education. Bringing horses into educational and learning models, creates a whole new set of complexities and unknowns. Our certification program will give you the confidence, knowledge and experience required to incorporate horses into your professional offer. We teach you a new way of thinking, how to trust yourself and your horses, and how to navigate in a wide variety of situations.

  • For new people coming into this field, you do not have to know exactly how you plan to incorporate horses into your work in order to enter our certification program. You will gain that clarity during the program and upon completion have a concrete sense of how you want to incorporate horses into your offer. We will also help you determine what continuing education you need to be successful and confident in your work.
  • For seasoned professionals, avoid the-4-6 year learning curve it will take for you to figure this work out on your own. If you have already received training in the EAGALA or EPONA models, this program will expand on what you already know and continue to develop your skill and competency.
  • Our goal is to expand on your existing knowledge and provide new skills and techniques for doing the work and for running your own business. The program includes a minimum of 13 days of in person instruction to develop your unique style of facilitation, gain confidence in EGE experiential learning, hands on practice sessions and supervision in refining coach/facilitation skills, intuitive listening, somatic awareness, non-verbal body language, EGE exercises, business planning, choosing horses, facility design, and much more.
