At Equi, we are a dedicated team of equine professionals and mental health and wellness experts.

Our principles

We believe in the power of connection between horses and humans. Through our workshops, we aim to foster a deep and meaningful bond that allows for personal growth and self-discovery.

Empowerment

Authenticity

Connection

At Equi, we encourage individuals to embrace their true selves. Horses have an innate ability to sense authenticity, and by being genuine, we can create a safe and supportive environment for personal exploration.

Our workshops are designed to empower individuals to take control of their own well-being. By working with horses, participants learn to trust their instincts, set boundaries, and develop a sense of personal empowerment.

A word from our founder:

These workshops began as a result of my desire to better understand my own horses. Much to my surprise my work with them led me to a much greater understanding of myself. I am forever grateful to my first teacher, Spencer, whom you see in the photo below. I had him until he was 35 years old. He taught me everything I know about what horses can show us about ourselves and now I hope to have the privilege to show you as well.

Why Our Team Makes the Difference

At Equi – Horses & Humans, our strength lies in the unique bond between our people and our horses. Our human facilitators are seasoned professionals in psychotherapy, coaching, equine handling, and equine behaviour—deeply trained to create emotionally safe, grounded, and transformative experiences. But our horses are not tools—they are partners. Sensitive, intuitive, and authentic, they respond to the emotional energy of each participant, offering insights that no human could deliver alone. Together, we create an environment where connection, reflection, and growth unfold naturally.
