EQ- Equine Intelligence
At EQuine Intelligence, we believe extraordinary horsemanship begins not with what we do, but why we do it. We're dedicated to transforming the traditional rider-horse relationship from one of command to one of conversation. Through our purpose-driven approach, we develop partnerships where harmony replaces force, understanding replaces domination, and mutual growth becomes the foundation of every interaction.
Our Why:
Our Story
EQuine Intelligence was founded on a simple yet profound belief: true horsemanship begins with purpose.
It all began with one remarkable horse, Foreign Legion aka 'Red', who changed everything for our founder. Through their relationship, Foreign Legion taught her the most valuable lessons that could be applied to all areas of life, not just horsemanship.
This special horse revealed what is truly of value and what matters—showing that horses are our greatest teachers when we learn to listen.
This transformative experience led her to establish EQuine Intelligence in Red's honour after witnessing the stark difference between training focused solely on outcomes versus training rooted in partnership and understanding.
We saw too many talented horses and dedicated riders caught in cycles of frustration, achieving technical proficiency but missing the harmony and joy that defines exceptional horsemanship.
Our Philosophy
At EQuine Intelligence, we've built our approach on timeless principles that have guided the greatest horsemen and horsewomen throughout history:
Beginning with Purpose
We start with "why" - understanding the deeper purpose of our work with horses before addressing "how" we train or "what" movements we aim to achieve. This purpose-driven approach creates clarity, resilience, and fulfillment for both horse and rider.
Horses as Partners, Not Platforms
We recognize that horses are sentient collaborators in the training process, not mere vehicles for human achievement. Our methods honor the horse's nature, psychology, and individual character, creating true partnership rather than mere compliance.
The Infinite Game
We approach development as an infinite journey rather than a series of finite competitions. While we celebrate competitive achievement, we measure success by the quality of the partnership, the well-being of the horse, and the continuous growth of both horse and rider.
Smart Trust
We build relationships founded on what we call "Smart Trust" - a balanced approach combining genuine care with intelligent assessment. This creates horses who give freely from choice rather than constraint, enabling the subtle communication that defines classical horsemanship.
What We Offer
