program format

Online Learning + Hands-On Training + Zoom Support Calls

Our program is a combination of self-directed online learning, in-person hands-on training and practicum through case studies and homework assignments.

Our students need to be self-motivated and disciplined in order to complete the necessary requirements prior to each hands-on training block.

Zoom calls will be held monthly to check in with your instructors and discuss any questions you may have or interesting experiences around your case studies or self-study sessions. This provides you with a community of students who are also moving through the program to connect and collaborate with throughout your Equi-Bow journey. Our student practitioner community is a key component of our program–it is important to have a safe space where you share your experiences with like-minded people who understand your journey.

Online content will become available to you upon registration so you can begin to lay the foundations for your in-person training. In addition to the online content, you will also gain access to our Student Mentorship Community, a safe space to share, ask questions, and receive support from your fellow students and instructor team. This program also includes access to Concepts in Holistic Equine Nutrition with Sarah Griffiths, DCH of The Animal Synergist, and Equestrian Book Keeping with Christa Myers of Equestrian Bookkeeper
