Training and further education
Training in equine-assisted process support
Our in-depth experience from seminars, coaching sessions and therapeutic processes enables us to train people to create a space of growth that is supported by trust, openness, compassion, friends, security and authenticity. Graduate meetings and group supervisions support a mutual exchange of experiences and the further development of equine-assisted process support.
We have both been involved in equine-assisted coaching and equine-assisted therapy for over 15 years now and can look back on a broad and very differentiated wealth of experience in this healing work.
Depth and sustainability
The training to become an equine-assisted process facilitator consists of 3 modules and supervision sessions and can be completed in approx. 1.5 years. Participation in the first module(basic training) is a prerequisite for module two (train the trainer) and module three (equine-assisted trauma therapy). Modules 2 and 3 can be completed optionally.
The first module is the basic training to become an equine-assisted coach, which includes elements of coaching and therapy, because our experience is that pure coaching falls short and the depth of therapy is needed to initiate healing and sustainable transformative processes. The basic training to become an Equine Assisted Coach lasts 6 days and consists mainly of self-awareness, practical exercises and theory. After these 6 days of basic training, you will be able to offer horse-assisted coaching to people and support them in their processes. We have trained over 150 people in recent years, of whom around 90% have started to offer this work after our basic training or have incorporated it in some way into their original healing, educational or spiritual work.
Here you can find out more about the basic training to become an Equine Assisted Coach.
We call the second module “Train the Trainer” as it is aimed at people who want to learn how to effectively accompany people, groups, teams or managers in change and development processes. Exercises from the basic training are deepened and the sometimes challenging phenomenon of group dynamic processes is dealt with in detail and skills are taught that enable graduates to “hold” more intense emotional situations in groups. Once again, the focus is on the depth of people’s experience rather than a short-term solution to “problems”.
Here you will find a detailed description of “Train the Trainer”.
The third module is further training in equine-assisted trauma therapy. This is about how horses can support people in dealing with trauma in an empowered way.
We want to provide people from the healing and educational professions with opportunities to offer a non-judgemental, extremely attentive, supportive and stabilizing space for people who want to process their painful experiences and grow beyond them. In this expectation-free framework, everything is allowed to unfold at the client’s pace. In this way, opening, change and healing can occur because people confide in each other and feel seen and safe.
As in all of our training modules, this training is primarily about self-awareness. To the extent that we as process facilitators develop our ability to care for our needs, strengthen our ability to relate, be in touch with our body and our experience or remain present and open even in the most intense emotional states, the more we can also help other people to enter these spaces.
Our equine-assisted trauma therapy aims to create a space that creates safety and trust and thus opens the doors to healing. To this end, we offer carefully selected exercises and a sound overview of the theoretical foundations of trauma therapy.
Here you will find the detailed description of the training in equine-assisted trauma therapy.
Modules 2 and 3 are offered exclusively to graduates of the basic training to become an Equine Assisted Coach and are optional.

Testimonials
Training feedback
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful training to become an Equine Assisted Coach. I am deeply moved by all the profound insights in our group and can hardly wait to accompany people with the horses into their healing. All of this was only possible because you both opened and held the space for us - and the horses. I am so grateful to have met you both! Your calmness, your deep feeling for each and every one of us, your appreciation, your loving feedback. And: the way you both keep looking deep into each other's eyes and being so close - all of this is a great gift that I take home with me, into my work and into my life. I am already looking forward to the next experience with you.
I am so grateful. A lot of things are loosening up inside me and taking on new forms. I am so happy to have gone this way, with all its ups and downs. Thank you both - for everything! I hope you are doing well with everything and that you can see again and again how valuable what you are doing is. I try to pass on the values that I enjoyed with you and bring them to life with the horses. My vision was: "I spread love and live self-love". Incredibly, it has come true!
I feel deeply strengthened and blessed by this valuable time of training. My perception has become more refined and I rest in the beautiful awareness that everything, including myself, can truly be as it is and as I am. Manuela and Carsten created this space, seemingly effortlessly and with so much love, mindfulness and appreciation - rarely have I experienced such wise, gentle and empowering guidance in a seminar! I can only recommend everyone to have this experience and I would like to thank them and everyone who was there on 2 and 4 legs for all the wonderful moments and experiences! Thanks to you, I now dare to take the step into coaching with horses with joy and new self-confidence. See you soon!
An unforgettable and magical experience that I wish for everyone with all my heart! The space that Manuela and Carsten create with their work and the horses makes it possible to really get deeply involved with yourself and the processes you are facing. I completed the training to become a horse-assisted coach with the two of them and was simply speechless on several occasions. Although I have been working independently in coaching and training for 10 years and therefore really know a lot, the combination with the horses and the loving manner of Manuela and Carsten was simply something very special. Whether training or seminar, working with the two of them (with or without horses) can only be an enrichment.
I've been back home for a few days now, after a week of training in horse-assisted coaching. I am so grateful, happy and deeply touched for the time together, the deep processes, the extensive learning, but above all for this space full of mindfulness, appreciation, protection and love! I was able to experience being allowed to be who I am, to show myself with everything that is there at the moment, to bring my whole self out. I came back from this training week with renewed courage and strength. Dear Manuela, dear Carsten, I feel that what you both bring into the world is so infinitely valuable! Thank you from the bottom of my heart and see you soon from Anne.
It was so wonderful - in the truest sense of the word! I have already attended several seminars, but this training was by far the deepest, gentlest, most fulfilling, most connecting and simply most valuable that I have ever been able to experience in this form. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I look back on the training week with you and the horses with gratitude and a new inner peace. Piece after piece of the puzzle came together from day to day, from exercise to exercise to form the big picture. Clarity, courage and mindfulness displaced all the question marks. I was able to take home so much more than expected.
The training for equine assisted coaching was so incredibly loving and at the same time so instructive. You have created a wonderful space where learning was possible in such a playful, intensive and at the same time professional way. The connection between you, the horses and us as participants was "tangible". This makes learning fun and easy! Many thanks for that!
It was an absolute heartfelt experience and I am so grateful for this wonder week full of experiences, which allowed me to travel a little further to my heart and inspired me so much. Thank you to Manuela and Carsten, you put so much heart into it and our group was absolutely amazing.
I felt really comfortable, seen, safe, protected, supported and accepted by you. These days of training are a great enrichment for my life. You held the space for me in such a loving and present way as I have never experienced from a third party. Thank you very much for this!
