Equine Programs
Equine Learning Sessions
Equine learning sessions are typically, an hour per session. I work with individuals, couples, families, co-workers, groups and more. Individuals will be paired with a horse and or horses and see what comes up and where we go from there.
Individuals will learn the importance of asking what we want or need by applying energy/pressure to the horse, recognizing when the horse is trying and releasing the pressure to teach the horse that is what we wanted and then when we get what we asked for we take away all pressure and we are in relationship based on trust and respect.
Individuals will also learn the importance of increasing pressure when we are being ignored, maintaining pressure when we are being resisted and releasing all pressure when we get what we need. Pressure motivates, release teaches and it’s the relief that the horse really wants.
Equine Learning sessions can help with:
Couples Work & Communication
Pushing through Anxiety & Fear
Team Building for Professionals
Grief and loss work
Parenting Skills
Equine Therapy
I partner with licensed therapists to be present in our sessions so that we can take equine learning to a deeper level. The therapist is there to help process and support clients with whatever comes up for them. I can work with any therapist of your choice or I have several that I can recommend.
The therapist does not need to be equine trained. As the equine specialist, I will focus on the horse and the therapist is there as a therapeutic support for the humans. Equine work can be a great assessment tool for therapists to see what’s really going on beneath the surface. This work can be for individuals, couples, families, co-workers, groups, etc. These sessions are typically an hour and can be a one time only or can turn into several sessions.

Yoga with Horses
Join Kerry Green for kundalini yoga with horses and learn how you can use your breath as an aid to center your energy.
Horses pick up on the emotional environment, including our own energy and are a true mirror of our emotional state. Breathing is energy and horses communicate though energy. When we are balanced and in harmony, horses and humans lead a healthier life!
“As a horse trainer, the greatest tool I have for communicating directly with any horse is my breathing. To create clarity of mind, I use my breathing because it is the key to creating an active versus a passive energy state. Applying active energy to my horse makes he respond with physical action. Shifting to passive energy slows him down, rewards him, or brings him to a stop.”
