Changing Lives With A Horse, (Of Course)!

Episode 180: FREE Virtual Event ➡️ From Fixing to Trusting: A New Way to See Your Horse

Horses are always communicating. But not every moment requires horsemanship.
Sometimes the most powerful learning happens before anything is fixed.
In this upcoming Facebook Live, we will explore:
What it looks like when a horse is teaching in the moment
How to recognize when discomfort pause, or uncertainty is the lesson
Why stepping in too early can interrupt learning for both horse and human
When horsemanship is appropriate and why timing matters
If you work with horses and humans this conversation will change how you see what is happening right in front of you.
Come curious. Come open. Come ready to listen differently.

Episode 179: What is Equine Assisted Learning?

What exactly is Equine Assisted Learning, and how is it different from everything else you may have heard about working with horses?
In this episode, we break down what Equine Assisted Learning truly means through the lens of Equine Connection. We talk about how horses become powerful teachers of leadership, communication, confidence, and emotional regulation — all without riding and without therapy labels. You will learn how our BuildingBlock™ approach honours horse welfare first, creates measurable human outcomes, and empowers facilitators to build purposeful, results-driven programs.
If you have ever wondered how horses can transform lives in a structured, ethical, and sustainable way, this is the place to start.

Episode 178: Near-death experience

In this powerful episode, Kari shares the story of her near-death experience with horses — the moment everything could have ended, but instead changed everything.
What she learned in that instant reshaped how she sees safety, leadership, awareness, and the responsibility we carry when working alongside these incredible animals. This is an honest conversation about humility, respect, and the lessons horses teach us when we least expect it.

Episode 177: A Comprehensive Safety Session for Equine Assisted Work with Sara Lavoie

We’re hosting a live conversation with Sara Lavoie, a certified Equine-Assisted Learning facilitator and Safety Officer, who has developed a comprehensive safety manual for equine assisted work. This live is for any horse professional working with clients, regardless of modality, facility type, or certification background.
True professionalism means more than skilled facilitation. It requires clearly defined standards, ethical responsibility, and systems that protect horses, humans, and facilities. In this live, we’ll explore what real safety looks like in equine assisted work, including scope of practice, duty of care, insurance considerations, animal welfare, and facility responsibilities, as well as the gaps that exist across the industry.
Horses are not pets. They are powerful, highly sensitive prey animals, and working alongside them requires awareness, responsibility, and ongoing respect for their nature. When safety becomes casual or assumed, risk increases for everyone involved. This manual exists to support safer choices, clearer standards, and deeper respect for the horse as our partner and teacher, while keeping accountability exactly where it belongs with the professionals who choose to do this work.
This is about raising the bar for our entire horse human community and creating work that is trusted, sustainable, and worthy of the horses who make it possible.

Episode 176: Don't just take our word for it...

We talk a lot about how our course helps people and what skills they can gain through working with horses, but don't just take our word for it. Join us to hear what our clients and facilitators have to say about what we do. 

Episode 175: An Invitation to Deeper Partnership with Your Horse with Leah Dyck: Equus Attuned

This isn’t just about learning about horses—it’s about truly listening.
Horses are deeply sensitive to breath, intention, nervous system state. Science confirms what many of us feel: when we become more present and regulated, communication clarifies and partnership becomes safer.
And there’s more.
Horses don’t just respond to what we do; they respond to who we are being—and they actively facilitate shifts in our internal and vibrational states.
Join us for an interactive online gathering where we explore real partnership with horses through both scientific understanding and intuitive, embodied awareness. You’ll receive practical tools for clearer communication and a deeper understanding of connection and attunement.
If you’ve ever felt there was more happening with your horse—this space is for you.
We’ll reflect together on questions like:
Have you ever sensed there was more happening with your horse—something to receive or remember?
Have you noticed how your state shifts in their presence, and how they may be facilitating that?
 
And we’ll come back to what truly matters:
If one thing could shift in your relationship with your horse, what would it be?
How would that change both of your lives?
This is a space to listen deeply, and reconnect—
to your horse, to yourself, and to something quietly sacred that lives in the relationship between you.
✨ Live + interactive
✨ Grounded in science, guided by intuition

Episode 173: Finding the Funny: Why Humour Matters in Life and Business

In a world that takes itself a little too seriously, this episode dives into the power of humour — not just as a personality trait, but as a strategy for living and leading. We explore how laughter builds connection, breaks tension, fuels creativity, and keeps you grounded when life or business feels heavy.
Whether you’re navigating tough conversations, building a brand, working with clients, or just trying to make it through the day without losing your mind, humour can be the secret ingredient that shifts everything.
Join us as we unpack why lightness isn’t unprofessional — it’s essential. Because when you can laugh, you can learn. When you can laugh, you can lead. And when you can laugh, you can handle just about anything.

Episode 172: The Weight of “What If”

How many dreams have you buried under the words “What if?”What if I fail? What if they judge me? What if it’s not the right time?
In this episode, we dive into how those two little words quietly hold us back from the life we’re meant to live. You’ll learn how to recognize the fear behind your what-ifs, reframe them into possibilities, and take the kind of action that builds confidence instead of doubt.
Because the truth is — the “what ifs” don’t protect you. They just pause your potential.

Episode 171: Equine Connection Talking About Rescued Hearts on Country 104.5!

Kari and Carolyn from Equine Connection join Country 104.5 to share the heart behind bringing their film Rescued Hearts home to Strathmore. In this interview, they talk about why this story matters so deeply — to them, to their horses, and to the community that helped make it all possible.
Hear how Rescued Hearts celebrates hope, healing, and connection, and why sharing it right here in Strathmore means more than words can say.

Episode 167: What Ballroom, Burlesque & Horses Can Teach Us About Confidence and Self-Love

How does a burlesque diva, ballroom champion, and one of Canada’s “dancing sweethearts” find healing through horses?
Join us for a powerful LIVE as we sit down with Diana Lefebvre, Calgary-based performance coach, confidence mentor, and founder of Ballroom 2 Burlesque.
For over 30 years, Diana has been on stage and behind the scenes as a competitor, national judge, studio owner, and the visionary behind Burlesquercise Canada, a bold movement that helped thousands of women reclaim their sensuality, power, and presence. After 22 years of leading her award-winning company, Diana passed on her legacy and stepped into her next chapter, helping women across the globe embrace confidence, mental clarity, and radical self-love.
Now she is bringing her artistry, fire, and embodied wisdom into the arena with the horses.
In this LIVE we will explore:
• Diana’s journey from performance and perfection to healing and embodiment
• How nervous system regulation and somatic practices intersect with horses
• Why movement, presence, and play are the missing links for confidence
• The unexpected story of how ballroom and burlesque led her to Dancing With Horses
If you have ever felt trapped in your head, disconnected from your body, or tired of performing for everyone else, this conversation will spark something deep in you.
Do not miss this chance to see how horses, movement, and radical confidence come together in a way that changes everything!

Episode 166: Connecting With Your Horse on a Whole New Level With Doug Walsh

Horses are prey animals and unlike us, as humans, we are predators. They're 98% energy based creatures which means that 24 hours a day 7 days a week, they're trying to figure out who's gonna come after them.

Episode 165: Before the Arena, Before the Business… There Was Just a Dream.

Every dream begins with a single thought.
That whisper that says, ‘There’s something more.’
That nudge that tugs at your heart when you’re around horses and wonder… ‘Could I really make a difference in people’s lives through them?’
Join us as we share the story of how it all began.
The early days, the obstacles, the raw truth of what was, and the incredible transformation into what is now!
This isn’t just our story, it’s the spark for yours!
 
If you’ve ever felt called to help humans through the wisdom of horses… to make an impact, to step into a deeper purpose, to live a life aligned with heart and soul, this is your sign.
It all begins with one thought. And maybe this is yours.

Episode 164: Part 4: Learn To Listen To Your Horses (In THEIR Language) -> Headaches, Body Zones & More!

If your horse could speak human, what would they say?...
 
Probably something like:
 
"I’m trying to tell you something… but you’re too busy leading."
 
"I’m here. But I need you to slow down and see me."
 
"Let me teach... not just be part of the session."
 
In Part 4 of our free training series, we’re going deeper into what horses show us (and say to us!).
 
We'll be diving deeper into:
 
The zones we tend to overlook.
 
What a “headache” might look like in your horse.
 
And the surprising things people take away when the horse is truly allowed to teach.
 
This is about slowing down and seeing what’s been there all along.
 
When we can learn to stop managing the moment and start witnessing it...
 
The horse steps forward as the teacher they’ve always been.
 
Save your seat to this free training happening on Wednesday!

Episode 163: Part 3: Learn To Listen To Your Horses (In THEIR Language)

A lot of people think Equine-Assisted Learning is about using horses to help humans.
But the truth?...
 
We don’t “use” horses.
We partner with them.
And if you really want to partner with your horse,you need to learn their language.
When you step into an Equine-Assisted Learning session, it’s not about being the expert.
It’s not about fixing people.
It’s about letting the horse show you the way.
But only if we slow down enough to really notice.
When you learn to read their subtle signals, you’ll know how to guide your clients in ways that are empowering, deep, and lasting.
You can turn a quiet moment into a powerful breakthrough.
That’s what makes this work different.
It’s not riding.
It’s not therapy.
It’s horses teaching humans in the most beautiful way.
Come learn how to listen.

Episode 162: A Horse Is Not A Product

In a world where horses are too often bought, sold, and used like commodities, this podcast is a powerful reminder of the truth: a horse is not a product. We dive into real conversations about the value of the horse as a sentient being, a partner, and a teacher. This podcast challenges the norm and speaks to the heart of true connection—where the horse is honoured for who they are, not what they can do.

Episode 161: Part 2: Learn To Listen To Your Horses (In THEIR Language)

Most people think they’re listening to their horse.

That’s the shouting.
