Add Horse as Teacher, Coach, or Healer to your Wellness Practice (Level 1 Training)
This is the first step for anyone who is interested in facilitating Equine Guided Development (EGD) and can also be taken by anyone who is feeling called to experience the wellness and growth potential that horses can offer.
