Where Horses Lead the Learning and You Build a Career That Changes Lives
Welcome to Equine Connection Australia, where the horse is the teacher, the learning is real, and your dream of working with horses becomes a meaningful business.
Our internationally recognised Equine Assisted Learning Certification gives you the skills, structure, and support to create a career helping people grow through the wisdom of the horse. This is not riding and it is not therapy. It is skills development that creates measurable change in people’s lives, all through the guidance of the horse.
Learn Locally. Grow Globally.
While our certification provides flexible, fun, self-paced online modules, lessons that help you understand how horses think, communicate, and guide the learning along with what your job is as the facilitator.
Then you come to your ‘Bonus’ in-person practical training in Terrey Hills, NSW at our official Australian training facility. This is where it all comes to life. You get to work with horses, real clients, and instructors who have been helping people through Equine Assisted Learning for many years.
Here you feel the learning, you watch the horses teach, and you discover how to work with confidence as a facilitator.
What Makes Equine Connection Australia Different
Australians value honesty, real results, and learning that actually works.
That is exactly what this model delivers.
Our programs are structured, safe, and outcomes based. Every lesson teaches life skills such as communication, trust, boundaries, teamwork, and leadership.
You will learn how to guide clients through their own discoveries while the horse gives instant, honest feedback. And you will be fully equipped to run these programs as a real business from the moment you finish.
About Accreditation
In Australia, accreditation often means TAFE, college, or uni. That is not what this is, and it is not what most people need to start a successful equine assisted business.
You earn a globally recognised professional certification that gives you credibility, but the real power is that we train you to actually build and run a thriving business.
This certification prepares you to confidently deliver Equine Assisted Learning programs that create measurable outcomes while putting the welfare of the horse first. It is practical, clear, and built to help you start working in your community, not to give you an academic credential you may never use.
You are learning a complete business system, not just theory.
- Instant Business Package – You don’t leave with just a certificate. You leave with a complete, ready-to-run business, including programs, tools, marketing, and a structure you can actually use from day one.
- Real Business Skills – You learn how to attract the right clients, have confident conversations, secure contracts, and run programs without spending years guessing or trying to figure it out on your own.
- A Clear, Step-by-Step Path – You’re guided through a proven system that takes you from “I have an idea” to running your own successful Equine Assisted Learning career with clarity, confidence, and support.
This is for Australians who want to work with their horses, create real impact, and build a business that lasts.
You are training to launch a career and change lives, not simply receive a certificate.
