Train the Trainer" program
deepening & diversity
Your passion becomes a vocation
In addition to the training to become an equine coach, we offer the “Train the Trainer” program.
The advanced seminar “Train the Trainer” is intended to offer additional aspects of equine-assisted work with clients. These approaches are derived from the experience that the inner and outer attitude of the coach is more important for a profound process of self-awareness than his tools and specific interventions. They are intended to complement and enrich the content of the training to become an equine-assisted coach. In addition, we would like to introduce new exercises, repeat and deepen known exercises and invite the experiences of all participants.
The aim of this program is to develop a well-founded and self-empowered inner maturity in the practical application and attitude of horse-assisted therapy, individual and group coaching. This program is open to people who are already working with horses in the fields of therapy or coaching and have completed the basic training have completed the basic training with us.
Opening and accompanying spaces
When we offer safe and trusting spaces in which growth and development can occur, people often encounter feelings, emotions or blockages that they may have learned to deal with in everyday life. These can be projections or intense feelings such as fear, anger, sadness or even dissociative states, which can affect other people in the room or lead to counter-transference. If we as leaders are no longer in contact with ourselves, this can quickly lead to individual participants or the whole group becoming unbalanced.
Learning and practicing to remain present, connected and capable of acting in these situations in order to be able to “hold” such group dynamic processes and, in the best case, to support all participants in their growth in a nourishing and healing way is an essential part of this module. In this way, change and development processes can be professionally initiated and supported for teams and managers in individual, company or seminar settings and in a therapeutic context.
Reflecting on yourself, your actions, feelings and actions in order to avoid projections, transference and distance or to create connection is part of the self-awareness that awaits you. Because the horses always show us sides of ourselves that we as trainers, coaches or therapists cannot easily discover. The horses present us with a non-judgemental and authentic mirror image that could not be clearer, more acceptable and uncompromising. In this way, they show us a way out of our old, outdated and limiting identifications that no longer belong to us or our clients.
The aim of these 4 days is to train you as a process facilitator in individual and group settings, in practical exercises with horses that we have developed and proven to be deeper, more sensitive and more accurate.

Testimonials
Training feedback
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.
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 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 others. Thank you so much for that!
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!
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.
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.
We look forward to seeing you
