Equine Connection, Academy of Equine Assisted Learning is the focused program I needed to begin my equine business. They have provided me with the research-based curriculum that will help me to facilitate focused objectives to my clients. Once I began the program, I immediately knew I found my herd.

From the online tutorials to the text you are provided detailed theory and skills to apply immediately to your own Horse life & relationships while you practice and prepare for your own EAL program. It's all there for you! And they don't leave you when it's done - you have the Equine Connection Community support forever! This program is uplifting, empowering and will change and enrichen your relationship with your horses. My horse Georgia and all her pasture mates say THANK YOU Equine Connection! The gratitude and lessons I've come away with by doing this program is worth so much more than words can describe, I love that I can now this offer this program to other people in my community.

This is the utmost comprehensive, interesting and entertaining course I have ever taken. It changed my life! I thought I know tons about me and my horses ... I've learned so much more and through the amazing videos I feel like I've known Kari and Carolyn for ever! I am proud to be a life-changer and can't wait for the 3 day hands on!

I am extremely pleased with this certification course and looking forward to the continuous positive experiences and results this course has to offer. The instructors are, friendly, helpful, and approachable. I have been a horse person all my life, and even so, this course has given me so much more awareness and understanding of the horse in relation/parallel to myself/humans. I'm looking forward to creating and living rewarding business adventures through the continued support of this amazing Academy. Thank you

The EAL Program is a program that anyone can take and learn enough about themselves to make it worthwhile. The clients who take the courses will learn even more about themselves and how to incorporate those skills into their daily lives, enriching not only their lives, but the lives of those they interact with. The EAL Program not only encouraged me to step outside of my comfort zone but also provides me with the resources and support to become more comfortable in those areas. My horses also have, and will continue to, benefit from the knowledge provided, by my being more in tune to their language and understanding their needs.

If you are looking to become a certified equine assisted learning facilitator, this is for you. Kari and the team at Equine Connection are the real deal. They are caring, knowledgeable, and believe so deeply in what they do that they (and everything they do) shine. They demonstrate that we need to slow down in life and really listen to the world around us. Equine Connection truly models the passion that upholds the dream of running a business through teaming with horses.

The certification course was above and beyond all my expectations. Seriously, way above. The amount of support you get throughout the course and after completion is incredible. They really want you to succeed and it shows in everything they do. So much training in the course and setting up your business and beyond. The course also made me see my horses differently. I always knew how incredibly in tune with our emotions they are, but I noticed how much my body language says to my horses. I am using the tools I learned and my horses are definitely noticing the difference. If anyone is looking for a career in horses and helping people, but is worried about whether or not it will be successful, this is the course for you.

I just completed the EAL certification course and I have to say that it was the most comprehensive training I have been through in a long time. I walked away with a clear understanding of how to run an EAL program that has been proven by research to create transformation in people's lives. Everything is laid out and easy to follow. I have had my current herd for about a year, and after taking this course and working with them, we have connected on a much deeper level because I have learned so much about what they are saying to me. If I could give this program 10 stars, I would. If this is your passion, this is your program!

This certification is lifechanging. Everyone is appreciated for being their authentic selves and the support given by Equine Connection is unheard of. If you have ever even thought of a carrier helping people through horses, this is your home!

The certification course was amazing!! Having the opportunity for hands on learning with other people helped bring the online learning to a different level. Working with the horses and other people gave me a deeper understanding of how EAL can change lives. I understand so much more of how this certification can help me and others. A fantastic course!

Hands down the best course I’ve ever taken.It’s at least a 4 year education on anything and everything you can imagine to start your own EAL business and all the support you need and you can do it at your own pace .Anyone can do this ,I highly recommend.

Equine Connections Facilitator Certification course goes above and beyond. Taking this course has helped me on so many levels. I have a deeper understanding and connection with my horses. My entire herd is more mellow and relaxed. I learnt skills to help navigate confrontation and set boundaries with my co-workers, peers,friends, family , in a way that strengthens relationships. If thats not enough I have a casual career helping people by sharing what I am most passionate about .... horses!! Ever so thankful I took the leap and took this course.

Phenomenal education and team dynamics! Not only did these ladies help me learn how to create my dream career, they have a network where I am always able to share my struggles and gain insight, and celebrate the wins with such a great group. Nothing like being in business FOR myself, not BY myself.

Amazing program with excellent training and support.

This course has been absolutely life changed! I'm so glad I made the leap and joined this incredible team of people! The course is very informative, interesting and easy to follow. Everyone on the course is very supportive, quick to answer questions and always happy to help! I would highly recommend this course if you're thinking of changing you career, want to help people and love horses!

Where to start. I have just completed my hands on training with Equine Connection in Sydney & it completely exceeded all my expectations. The training was so thorough it left no questions unanswered. The instructors Jane & Alice were professional but also approachable and made our entire class feel comfortable & welcome. Not only do you become a qualified EAL facilitator but you get all of your business packs so your business is simply ready to go. Even before the hands on training the online training was really indepth and delivered in a methodical easy to understand way. Could not ask for more. Thanks EC

This program is life changing. The most important thing that it did for me was show me that I can make a dream a reality. The program was a journey for me, not just a certification. It opened up new opportunities, a new outlook and a new way of finding purpose. The most amazing thing is that no matter what self doubt you may have when you join this program, it is quickly replaced with confidence and drive. Thank you all at Equine Connection for allowing me the opportunity for personal growth that will transcend to helping others.

This program is awesome! I have done a lot of online learning and this is easily one of the best courses I have taken. The content is comprehensive and easy to follow, the videos are engaging and the text book is an excellent resource. Not to mention that Kari and Carolyn are the BOMB!! You will walk away not only certified but ready to start your own business!

Best program in North America I feel

Equine Connection exceeded my expectations once the course was completed through the theory and practicum. The knowledge received will enhance the services I already provide to children and adults. This course has changed how I interpret what my horse is saying and how to effectively keep the horse safe. Anyone who wants to go into this form of skill building would greatly benefit from this course.

Wow, what a certification training. Well worth every penny - especially the Clydesdale package. I feel prepared, and ready to get going. Most importantly, is the Business Package, this package gives you everything to get you started.

A month ago, I had the privilege of joining the Equine Connection's herd, marking the start of my journey with Equine Assisted Learning. Already, I can witness the transformative effects when working with horses. While I've been around horses my entire life, pursuing certification has taken my relationship with them to new heights. I am eager to share this profound experience with others and assist in human growth through the profound connection with these majestic beings. The support from the Equine Connection's family is awe-inspiring, and the wealth of information provided to us is truly remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

I have never in my life experienced such caring and thoughtful facilitators. Even on my own personal battles, I was able to reach out and had them behind me the whole way, pushing me to keep my confidence! I did it, but I won't lie, I could not have done it without Carolyn and her constant support.

I could not believe all that was included when I received my certification! I literately ( NO JOKE) got a whole business in a box - PLUS the ongoing support, for over 2 years now, has been absolutely second to none!!! I hold so much respect and gratitude for Equine Connection Academy, Kari, Carolyn, Karsyn with their down to earth professionalism, that is all wrapped up in integrity, morals, sincerity and genuine caring!! I took my certification in 2021 and now going into my second year I am beyond excited at all the connections I'm making and the financial assistance it is generating towards creating our dream ranch. I have been blessed at the many doors opening to offer the Amazing Equine Connection EAL programs to the youth in our community, and I cannot believe how much pride I feel everyday that I can help make a difference in their lives, in their families and in our community. I could not do this if it wasn't for my certification! If your hesitating, take this as your sign, CALL Equine Connections ask away, they are waiting to help you succeed, sign up as they are waiting to assist you in achieving your dreams, your future.

I have to say I made the right choice when I was researching what path I wanted to go down, I was looking into a few different options for the FEEL and EAL Programs. When I reached out to equine connections, the women were very welcoming, supportive and well happy people to speak with. I decided to take the certification through Equine Connection and I am so glad that I did. the ongoing support and the fact that they share every piece of business and information with the participants is hands down the BEST they are always there when we need them. Thank you so much Carolyn and Kari!

The equine connection academy was amazing! It was great to stay home and take the course at my own pace. OMG the business pack is incredible, it includes EVERYTHING! My relationship with my horses keeps getting better and better. These ladies are incredible!!

Training AND instructors that stay with you for life!! They guide you every step of the way to a successful business working with amazing horses and helping people!!

Becoming a certified Equine Connections facilitator has done nothing but good things for me. It's given me the confidence and feeling of empowerment to begin my own EAL journey so more humans can discover the healing power of horses, all while being surrounded by a family of likeminded individuals who also have the same goal! Kari and Carolyn are always there for you to answer any questions or offer any help you may need! 5/5 easily! Thank you for all you do guys!

I took the virtual certification course from Equine Connection, and it was truly amazing. There is so much information packed into this course, delivered by energetic facilitators that have a huge genuine passion for what they are doing. The course truly covers everything that you need to provide you with the opportunity to become successful in starting your own business. Researched and scientific evidence learning about how your horse communicates with you and the reason they are the best teachers, how to set up and facilitate the programs, and the most valuable aspect, is the support and business package that provides everything Kari and Carolyn have learned about building a successful business. I had checked out three different courses and chose this course because of the ongoing support that is provided to ensure that you can duplicate their success. Learning about a subject is one thing, learning to put it into practice is another thing, however, turning your dream or what you have learned into a successful business is the greatest challenge of all.

This program has been carefully and thoughtfully laid out. From start to finish its’ format is easy to understand and to replicate, to ensure a powerful learning opportunities for the clients. I love that the horse is teacher and not used as a tool in the learning. The facilitators and the community, have a strong support system after completing the course .

This course was everything i was looking for and more. Now I have the tools,knowledge and support to move my business forward with success. The process was enjoyable and it was easy to stay engaged. Kari and Carolyn are wonderful humans with so much wisdom and heart to share.

There is no one who is more invested in your success than the staff at Equine Connection. They go the extra mile to provide all the resources necessary to help you be successful in life and business. I was very skeptical when I first found them on the internet and saw everything that the program offered but they deliver on every aspect exceeding my expectations. I have not found a more comprehensive program that puts the welfare of the horse first, and provides life changing experiences for the participants. They truly care about each individual. Equine connection is your best resource if you are looking to begin a business in horses.

It took me almost 2 years to finally choose which certification to take and to commit to the training. I chose Equine connections because of the lifetime support and education as well as all the business materials that comes with it. I took the live webinar and it was so wonderful to be able to connect with others across the country with the same dreams and aspirations. This course shifted the way I look at my horses and their behaviour completely. I am thrilled to be making my dreams come true changing lives with my horses.

Growing up I always knew I wanted to work with horses and help people. I never knew that this goal was going to be achievable until I contacted Equine Connection. Everything I read it was like they were speaking to me, they checked all my boxes with what I was searching for. Not many things in life come easy but with the information Equine Connection provides, their mode of delivery, commitment to success and continues support has allowed me to develop academically, personally and in my equine journey. My style of horsemanship and they way in which I work with my horse has become more balanced and natural. Like I said, this certification checks ALL boxes.

Amazing indepth course. I have worked with horses for 40 years and learned a new way to understand my horses and have a more positive outcome. The online at your own pace was easy to navigate and was very indebth. The three day in person certification far exceeded my expectations. I was not expecting so much support after completing the training as I set up my business. The training videos and business pack has everything I need.

This course has been truly life changing- something I’ve needed in my life for far too many years. After taking the online portion, I was so ready to meet these amazing facilitators at the in person training and they did not disappoint once I did! They keep everything so professional but fun and entertaining and their methodologies on working with horses can’t be beat. This course has humbled me so much in working with my own horses and given me the proper perspective I need to be successful in starting my own EAL program.

The certification from Equine Connection has exceeded my expectations in so many ways! The constant support is truly outstanding. The amazing educational materials that you can revisit at any time and retake any part of the program to refresh your knowledge and enthusiasm. The focus on the wellbeing of the horse since it's the horses that make the magic happen for the humans. The supportive EC family to cheer me on at every turn. The science backed research in all of the programs so that I can deliver irrefutable results to every client! The business pack is so incredibly in-depth that I feel confident that I can run my own business even though I've never done it before! I will recommend Equine Connection to everyone I meet. Top notch in every way!!

I have never been more excited about something in my life until I enrolled in the EAL Certification course! It has exceeded my expectations in many ways. There is a mountain of information provided to you. The teachers are always there to help in any way. The best part is learning about the horses and how they are always speaking to us and that they are very in tune with everyone. This course was so easy to navigate and I would highly recommend it to everyone who loves horses and wants to help people.

This has been the best thing I have ever done! As someone who is totally new to business, this course has it all! Soooo much support and the hands-on-training was truly amazing. I am now a confident and competent facilitator. Kari and Carolyn have thought of everything and more. I cannot express how grateful I am for the opportunity to genuinely deliver an impact on clients in such a meaningful way!

The Equine Connection Facilitator training is incredible. They provide you with the tools and knowledge to feel confident in facilitating the programs. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

I have totally loved doing the Equine Connection 'Mix and Match' course because I've felt completely supported every step of the way by Kari in Canada and Jane here in Australia. I am not an IT wiz so I was more than a little daunted doing a course online but I didn't need to be because these amazing ladies were there for me whenever I was feeling lost. I've worked in the Equine Industry for over 40 years and have continually sought out professional development to stay at the top of my field, this course has topped all I have done before.

This is a LIFE CHANGING opportunity that Equine Connection provides everyone through out the world! The Live Certification Course made me see how the horse is so important for this career. The way Equine Connection has this training laid out, makes it so easy for me to learn on a day-to-day basis. Once I opened this new world of Horse Therapy into my dream career, I have never been more happier, as a person, a proud leader, and a help to my community. I recommend this beautiful place to anyone!

This program was more than I could have ever expected! I learned so much in just a short amount of time, and am ready and excited to see where this can take me!

This course exceeded my expectations. Everything is provided for you to be able to get your business up and running in a way that is true to you and also looks after your horses. The information, support, experience and knowledge sharing is amazing....and it never ends.

From the get go I was engrossed in the 5 Day Virtual Certification. Never Have I Ever gone through a course that kept me engaged, excited and wanting more, even when the live teaching was over. Not only is the learning, teaching and facilitation component outstanding but the amount of "done for you" resources you're provided to start your business is at a whole other level! In addition to all of this, at the end of the course, it's not a "wave, good luck and see you later", you're embraced by the global family to ensure continued support and learning. Never Have I Ever taken a course this amazing that delivered above and beyond! Thank You Equine Connection for an awesome week and exciting start to the career of my dreams!

There where times that I was nervous about doing this, but after this weekends training, I know that I can do this. Carolyn and Kari are so positive and helpful. Love them and this program. I can not wait to start working with the horses and clients. The best money spent. It has also changed how I work with my riding horses. See you in August 2023!

I took their 5 day online training this year and will be following up with their 3 day in person training, I've participated in a lot of trainings over the years, these ladies know their stuff, amazing , organized, once you have completed the training all the information is available to start your own business and with the added , ongoing support Thank you , I love this program! Janette Carr

My experience with the Equine Connection virtual course was way beyond my expectations! Before this course I felt unsure of where exactly I fit into the horse world, and how to share that passion with others, I have found my place! At first, I was a little skeptical wondering how much I would learn after this virtual course, but have come to see clearly that in the detailed, professional, and thoughtful information provided it was more than enough to get me, and my business, started with clear direction! Thank you, Equine Connection! You truly have changed my life!

This was the most unexpected wonderful course I have ever taken in my life. I’m looking forward to my career in EAL and I would recommend Equine Connection to anyone.

This is one of the best things I have ever done for myself and my business! I had been looking for a certification program for some time and when I found Equine Connection and called to talk to them I was surprised to speak directly with Kari. She was so helpful and answered all of my questions. That call sealed the deal for me and I haven't been disappointed. I learned so much and the instant access to all of the business materials is so valuable. The team mentality and the network across the world is also a huge value in my opinion. I am so proud to be a certified EAL facilitator with Equine Connection. OH and another bonus - the relationship with my horses has improved 10 fold since I started using these principles to work with them as teachers!
