As requested, the Equiletics Virtual Training Centre has been created for those of you unable to access in person training. We are now open but will remain under construction continually adding educational resources. Check back often!
Equiletics is a philosophy not so much a method. There are several good methods available which teach horse owners WHAT to do with their horses. The Equiletics philosophy encompasses the belief that knowledge is power and that by providing educational materials which also answer the questions WHY and HOW, you will obtain the tools necessary to answer the unplanned WHAT IF questions that arise when working with horses. With these tools it is also hoped horse owners will be better able to ensure their horse's wellbeing is maintained by being equipped to critically evaluate the credibility of the ever growing number of methods and opinions available .
Thank-you for taking the time to prepare yourself mentally and physically for the challenge of preparing your horse mentally and physically for the questions you will ask of them!

This course takes you on an in depth, self guided look into the biomechanics of the horse's gaits and provides riders with many take home techniques to improve your training and riding performance.
2 hours plus downloadable notes and a practical skills checklist provided. A certificate of completion will be available. Upon enrollment, participants have access to the course for 1 year. $60CAD
This course carries on where "Understanding the Gaits to Improve Timing, Feel and Effectiveness of Your Aids" left off. Although, completion of the first course is not necessary to follow the content provided.
Riders will learn why their horse might move the way they do and techniques for evaluating and identifying areas where a horse could benefit from specific work to improve their biomechanics. Several exercises will be presented which are designed to improve your horse's gaits, transitions and therefore the movements.
Over 3 hours self directed study materials provided plus downloadable notes. A certificate of completion will be available. Upon enrollment, participants have access to the course for 1 year. $85CAD
Opening shortly!
In this course participants will learn what corrective exercise is and why it is a valuable method for riders and non riders alike. Participants will be taken on self guided tour through the corrective exercise process including some self evaluation techniques and practical corrective exercise sequences they can begin to implement immediately which will provide them with better body awareness, alignment and function in and out of the saddle.
Coming soon!
This course will discuss how equine ethology, biology and learning theory interact and how we can use this knowledge in our daily interactions with horses to better manage and train them.
I know that sounds complicated but it really isn't.
This course is suitable for both horse owners and equine health professionals.
