We guide our students through every phase of training to develop the confidence and skills needed to create a safe and effective learning environment to serve clients and succeed. Our programs emphasize learning over time, developing competency through practice and process, assessments, monthly coaching trainings, internships and supervised practice clients. Trainers may also participate it the HorseDream® Train the Trainer and HorseDream® Licensed Partner Programs, designed specifically for corporate /business development. Our trainings provide essential lessons in the nuts and bolts of setting up, promoting and sustaining a horse assisted education business as an ethically responsible, competent educator/coach or therapist.
What is the CBEIP?
(An excerpt from the CBEIP website) The Certification Board for Equine Interaction Professionals promotes the concept of voluntary certification by examination for those who incorporate equines into their mental health or education practice. Certification is just one part of a process called “credentialing” and focuses specifically on the individual and is one indication of current competence in the specialized field. Certification of equine facilitated mental health and education professionals provides formal recognition of basic knowledge in this field.

More About Intern Development
The coaching/internship programs are designed for participants to “do their own work first”, and comprised of both 1 to 1 and group coaching sessions (6- month commitment required), which includes best practices/ safety training, facilitation skill development, and “In Hand” horsemanship training. Interns are invited to participate in designated roles during real time client programs that are facilitated by senior staff. Universal principles are taught and best practice standards for safety are reintroduced and reinforced each time these workshops are presented.
Over time you will develop proficiency in the skills, processes, and methods needed to become successful.
You will learn the nuances of working with different types of horses and clients, hone your coaching skills and participate in-group supervision so you will have the real-life experience of working with clients under the guidance of our senior staff and the support of your peers.
Our program incorporates human facilitation concepts working with ENERGY, reading the field, group dynamics, reading body language, grounding feedback and assessments through the honest reflection/feedback of the horse. The significance of witnessing, developing authentic presence, working with reactivity, judgment and other states of constriction are key while staying connected to the goals and ambitions of the client during the equine activities and facilitation process.
How Do I Get Started?
The HorseDream® USA coaching and internship program is by invitation, requiring an application and phone interview. Upon acceptance, the next step is registering with the CBEIP mentor who will help organize your hours and determine how many hours are needed to be eligible for the CEIP exam.
