WHY START HERE
This has been transforming lives since these courses were first offered by Susan in the 1990s.
Level One equips you to look at animals in an entirely different way — and it’s exactly where every Certified Practitioner began.
“Before this Program I would describe working on a horse as coloring within the lines. Now I’m LISTENING to the horse more — and customizing my care to the individual.”
