THE CHRISTMAS MOVEMENT IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU TO ALL APPLICANTS.
Equine Connection Presents: A Christmas Movement
If you’ve ever felt your horse was meant for more - and so were you - this is for you.
Every day you put your passion on hold, your soul gets a little heavier. You know your horse isn’t just a companion - they’re a teacher, a healer, a partner waiting for purpose. What if this Christmas was the moment that changed everything?
Horses. Purpose. Giving. Two Hearts. Two Souls.
A Christmas Movement That Changes Lives.
This Christmas marks the final Christmas promotion we’ll ever run for the Equine Connection Certification with Business Training and Support. Each day, from November 15 to December 15, one or two aspiring facilitators will receive a $2,000 credit toward their course to begin their journey.
Win $2000 Toward Your Certification Course -
Here’s What You’ll Get:
you’re not just signing up for a course—you’re stepping into a full-circle experience that transforms your passion into a thriving career. Here’s what’s waiting for you 👇
🎅🏼 Online Equine-Assisted Facilitation Theory Course
Build a strong foundation in Equine Assisted Learning from the comfort of your home through an interactive, engaging online course. This isn’t theory you’ll forget tomorrow!
It’s a hands-on, heart-led experience that gives you clear frameworks and a proven method to confidently run your own EAL programs.
Through intentionally designed, horse-led interactions, you’ll learn how to:
• Facilitate powerful learning experiences that help people grow
• Support individuals and teams in building life skills that last
• Honour horse welfare while creating safe, transformative sessions
You’ll be supported every step of the way with guidance, resources, and a community that truly cares.
It’s fun. It’s empowering. And it’s a life-changing experience that will expand your understanding of EAL beyond what you ever imagined.
🎅🏼 The 'Instant Ready-Made Business Pack’©
Start your new career ready to roll - with everything already done for you.
Our Instant Business Pack gives you a complete, out-of-the-box toolkit so you can launch with confidence from day one. No guessing. No reinventing the wheel.
Ready-to-use tools: Lesson plans, activities, arena setup guides, pricing templates, and marketing materials.
Step-by-step systems: Business plans, client retention guides, tutorials, and plug-and-play resources that grow with you.
Ongoing updates: We continually add new materials, videos, and content so you always stay current.
🎅🏼 Practice Tutorial Videos
See it. Hear it. Understand it.
Before you ever step into the arena, you’ll watch full sessions in action — horses, clients, and facilitators — so you know exactly how the flow works and when to step in.
Including;
→ Step-by-step program demos
→ Real-time facilitation cues
→ Horse behaviour insights
→ Client reactions and learning moments
🎅🏼 True Understanding: Horses aren’t tools — they’re teachers.
At Equine Connection, we don’t use horses to perform tasks. We partner with them to guide powerful experiences that heal, teach, and transform — for both client and facilitator.
You’ve felt it — that moment when your horse senses your emotion before you speak.
Our certification helps you understand that language fully. You’ll learn to listen, respond, and build a true partnership where welfare and communication come first.
→ Listen to horses in ways you never have before
→ Understand their psychology and behaviour as partners
→ Strengthen care, maintenance, and communication
→ Facilitate transformation through respect and trust
We proudly partner with EQUINE GUELPH - THE HORSE OWNER’S CENTRE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH to uphold the highest standards of horse welfare.
🎅🏼 BONUS: Hands-On Training with Horses
After your online learning, you’ll step into the arena for our 3-Day Practical Training - either in person at one of our global facilities (Canada, U.S., Australia) or through our No-Travel Option right from your own arena.
You’ll work with real horses, real clients, and real outcomes — no role-play, just authentic transformation.
→ Facilitate real client programs using your full curriculum
→ Master session flow, timing, and facilitation techniques
→ Tune into the horse’s language to guide human breakthroughs
→ Build confidence under expert mentorship
→ Connect with a global community of facilitators who share your purpose
You’ll leave knowing, deep in your bones, you can do this. Not someday — now.
🎅🏼 Belong To A Thriving Community with Ongoing Support & Free Training
You’re not just getting certified. You’re joining a global herd.
From day one, you become part of a tight-knit, worldwide community of facilitators and instructors who get it. You’ll have ongoing access to guidance, coaching, and real-time answers whenever you need them - no matter where you are.
Once certified, you’ll join our private international group (not on social media) - a place to:
→ Ask questions and get expert support
→ Share wins, challenges, and breakthroughs
→ Access fresh resources and continuing education
→ Stay connected with graduates around the world
Getting certified is just the beginning! Our aftercare is what makes the difference - continuous mentorship, lifelong community, and real-time help when you need it most.
Or Upgrade to the Clydesdale to get these bonuses!
Training Videos!
True mastery doesn’t come from theory. It comes from doing. With unlimited video access, you’ll see real briefings, debriefs, obstacle setups, and facilitation in action so your learning truly sticks.
The Training Videos show you exactly what to say, how to say it, and how to connect arena moments to real life. Practice until it feels natural and confident because that’s where the magic happens.
When you’re grounded and clear, your clients and horses respond with trust. That’s the power of true connection and growth.

If this is your moment, we cannot wait to welcome you.

WHY DID EQUINE CONNECTION CREATE THE CHRISTMAS MOVEMENT?
At Equine Connection, everything we do is about connection. To ourselves, to others, and to the incredible horses who help us see what is possible. The Christmas Movement is our way of living that mission out loud during the season of giving.
It is not just a promotion. It is a celebration of heart, community, and the ripple effect of kindness. We know that when people are given the chance to follow their passion, incredible things happen. Not just for them, but for everyone they touch.
We are also doing this for the horses. Because when people step into their purpose through this work, horses do too. Two hearts. Two souls. Working side by side to help others find healing, growth, and strength in their own lives.
By offering the opportunity to win a $2,000 credit toward Certification, we are helping future facilitators step into their calling, start their dream careers, and bring more connection, compassion, and empowerment into the world.
Across North America, fewer people are entering the horse industry. In the United States, the horse population has dropped from about 7.2 million in 2017 to 6.6 million in 2023, while in Canada, the number of horses on farms fell from 392,000 in 2016 to 183,000 in 2021. Rising costs, limited access, and fewer young people joining are creating a steady decline in participation.
At Equine Connection, this is part of our why. We’re determined to bring new energy and purpose to the industry by training facilitators who can create meaningful careers with horses — keeping the heart of this industry alive for generations to come.
That is what the Christmas Movement is all about.
Giving back. Lifting others. And building a world where people and horses work together to change lives.
WHAT IS THE MEANING BEHIND THE $2000 CREDIT?
Here’s the meaning behind the $2,000:
#1 — “2” for Partnership
Two beings. One purpose. It takes two souls, infinite heart, and one decision to change everything.
The “2” represents the partnership between human and horse — the foundation of everything we do at Equine Connection. It’s our $2K Partnership Credit because nothing meaningful happens alone — it happens in twos: you and your horse.
#2 — “000” for Limitless Potential
The zeros symbolize infinite possibility. They remind us that there are no limits when purpose and partnership align. Together, you and your horse can change lives — starting with your own.
#3 — 31 Days of Giving
We chose to gift this credit over 31 days to represent a full cycle of transformation — one intentional step each day toward purpose, courage, and living your dream career with horses.
Because at Equine Connection, this isn’t about discounts. It’s about meaning. It’s about remembering why we started — and helping others do the same.
Testimonials
— Rylie Honeker
These gals at the Equine Connection are the real deal! Not only are they great teachers, they're very down to earth and relatable. The course is easy to navigate and exciting to go through. You're treated fairly and with respect and you have access to a wonderful, supporting community that really becomes an extended part of your family. They have created a beautiful environment to learn, grow and challenge yourself to become the best version of yourself you can be. This certification process was super fun, challenging (in the best way), and enjoyable. I've learned a lot about myself and have noticed significant growth. I will forever be grateful to Kari and Carolyn for the amazing work, heart and soul they put into this program. I am looking forward to starting on my journey into this world and am thankful they're going to be supporting me every step of the way.
— Sunshine Caron
These two are as real as they come! I have never taken a course where I immediately felt like part of a family. The course itself is packed with invaluable information — I purchased the Clydesdale package and it is truly everything it stands for: a complete, robust wealth of knowledge and support. Even without the 3-day training, I feel confident that I can begin this business doing what I love. If you have a dream and just need that kick in the behind to turn it into reality, this course is your first step to freedom. Absolutely life-changing! From the bottom of my heart Thank you Carolyn and Kari!!
