Each month we host a week-long training for one of our three basic classes, Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3. Our September Level 1 & October Level 2 students came in eager to learn, each of them with a unique horse background. They are a joy to work with and are flying through this course with remarkably open minds. We love that!
Our November Level 3 students just completed their training here and as soon as they finish the last bit of homework at home, they will be certified as Equine Natural Movement practitioners. Then off they’ll go, ready and able to provide sessions that help horses move and feel their best. We expect each of them to have a fantastic practice.
Our Level 3 class will be done with all their practice sessions and homework in three more months, that’s about how long homework takes. Then we’ll welcome more practitioners in Idaho, British Columbia, Iowa, Montana and eastern Washington. LEANNA PAULSON-KITTLESON (Idaho) has a broad background in healing. KELSEY KOSICK (British Columbia) has a people practice in Structural Integration. NANCY ROSE, an osteopathic physician (Iowa) just retired from working with people and now will focus on horse care. KATHY COCHRAN (Montana) and came to our course after she lost her job; this work is her new career. JEN GARCIA is a vet tech and will be setting up her practice in Ellensburg, WA.
At work with student horses
(On the right) Once we free up restrictions, horses like to see what they can do with that part of their body. EMILY PETERS TORNGA (CA) got some nice release work done on her student horse and he approved by showing her how far he could reach, fully lifting his neck from deep in his chest. This is CORE MOVEMENT!

Join us for an UPCOMING CLASS
Our next Level One class is December 6-12 and we’d love to have you here. Room and board are available nearby, airport pickups and no need to rent a car. Students fly in to Portland, Oregon. Our farm is in southwest Washington.
Winter Classes — More of the 2016 schedule here

Level Three December 27, 2015 – January 2, 2016
Level One March 15-21

Most students take a few months in between each class to complete their homework. As an example, this December’s Level One class will attend Level Two in April, then Level Three in August. Once all your papers and horse homework sessions are complete, most students will complete all the requirements (310 hrs) for certification in fall of 2016, just about a year after starting.
