Become an Approved Provider
Are you interested in delivering one of our programs at your own centre? Perhaps you would love to run your own equine assisted project but hate paperwork and have no idea where to start? Maybe you have purchased one of the books but would like a hands-on opportunity to see how it all works in practice? Let us help!
Our award-winning, evidence-based programs are tried, tested and peer-reviewed. They really work! And with our training, you can have a profitable and rewarding career working alongside horses to help people.
Step 1
Pick your program and buy the book
The Penytrip Program
Do you want to help children gain confidence, communication and coping skills?
Then the Penytrip Project Equine Assisted Social Skills Program is for you. Want to be sure it works? Read this independent research study.
The Alpha Mare Course
Do you want to work with groups of women, helping them to build self-esteem, form support networks and improve their mental health? Then pick the Marsh Christian Award winning Alpha Mare Women's Peer Support program.
The Life Hack Course
Would you like to help teenagers and young adults who are not in education, employment or training? Then choose the Life Hack Equine Assisted Life and Work Skills program.
Step 2
Get Certified
Your 5 day training retreat at our Scottish Borders centre will equip you with everything you need to go on and run one of our successful projects in your own setting. You can learn the equine assisted program of your choice inside out through theory lessons with the author and practice sessions with our herd of experienced therapy horses. You get to immerse yourself completely in the process, network with fellow learners and even work with real clients where possible.
You don't need any prior experience or to be a With Horses Certified Practitioner to take part (although if you are, you get a 20% discount).
