The mutual path to an extraordinary connection.

Being with horses… is not a training method.

It is a way of relating to horses that invites us to reconnect with our awareness and empathy to foster true partnership. 

In Being with Horses…

we move beyond the confines of traditional, dominance-based training in which horses are used for sport and personal gain. Instead, we recognize that horses are social animals with unique personalities, emotions, and needs. Soulful beings who are capable of building deep and meaningful friendships.

Our task is to learn to understand and speak their embodied language, so we can recognize who they are, and have a conversation eye to eye, as friends.

What People Are Saying

  • “I had long been searching for a way of connecting with my mare, Willa, that felt both authentic to me and like it honored and respected her as the sentient being she is… Being With Horses is everything I’ve been looking for and more — from learning how to better communicate with and care for Willa, to fully recognizing and helping to heal her trauma. I’m so grateful to Carla and Emily for working together to share this opportunity with us and for creating safe space for a beautiful, heart-centered community of people to form around this important philosophy.”

    - Melissa Dinino, Artist & Horsewoman

  • “The bond between my horse and me transformed over the course of the clinic. I’ve been a rider and horsewoman my whole life, but the Being With Horses method has profoundly opened my eyes and my heart to a whole new way of being with and relating to my horse. At the clinic I realized it was what I’d long been searching for.

    Louise Johns, Documentary Photographer

  • “As a participating auditor of the Being With Horses Clinic, I was amazed by the transformations that took place between horse and handler in just three days. It felt healing for all who were present. The combination of experiences brought by Emily and Carla demonstrated the art of guiding one through a process of deeply seeing and listening to the energy within themselves and their horses, allowing for an opening and connection for mutual growth to occur. In essence, this clinic guides one through an experience that answers what it means to feel whole, connected and in relation with what and who we love.”
