Where Horses Lead The Learning And You Build A Career That Makes A Genuine Difference
Welcome to Equine Connection Australia, where the horse is the teacher, the learning is practical, and working with horses becomes a viable, meaningful career.
Our internationally recognised Equine Assisted Learning Certification gives you the skills, structure, and support to work with horses in a way that helps people develop real-life skills. This is not riding and it is not therapy. It is structured skills development that creates clear outcomes for clients, guided by the horse.
Learn locally. Be part of a global standard.
Our certification combines flexible, self-paced online learning with practical lessons that help you understand how horses think, communicate, and guide learning, along with your role as the facilitator.
You then complete your bonus in-person practical training in Terrey Hills, NSW at our official Australian training facility. This is where everything comes together. You work with horses, real clients, and experienced instructors who have been delivering Equine Assisted Learning programs for many years.
This is hands-on, practical learning that builds confidence and clarity in how to lead sessions responsibly and effectively.

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. Each lesson focuses on core life skills such as communication, trust, boundaries, teamwork, and leadership.
You learn how to guide clients through their own discoveries while the horse provides immediate, honest feedback. You also leave fully prepared to run these programs as a legitimate business from the moment you finish.
About AccreditationIn Australia, accreditation often means TAFE, college, or university. That is not what this is, and it is not what most people need to begin working professionally in this space.
You earn a globally recognised professional certification that provides credibility and insurance recognition. More importantly, you are trained to actually deliver programs and build a sustainable business.
This certification prepares you to confidently facilitate Equine Assisted Learning programs that produce clear outcomes while prioritising the welfare of the horse. It is practical, ethical, and designed to help you start working in your community rather than collecting an academic credential you may never use.
You are learning a complete system, not just theory.

Real Australian Success Stories
Why choose Equine Connection? Because this model is proven and already working across Australia.
When you join, you become part of a global community of facilitators who are actively running Equine Assisted Learning programs.
Sheryl O'Brien, a certified facilitator from Australia, shared that the three-day training in Sydney brought everything together and gave her clarity and confidence in her work with horses. She described it as a turning point in how she now delivers her programs.
You receive ongoing support, mentorship, and access to a professional community that continues to guide and support your growth.
Across NSW, Victoria, Queensland, and Western Australia, Equine Connection facilitators are delivering programs with schools, youth groups, women's workshops, NDIS participants, corporate teams, and community organisations.
They are earning income, creating meaningful outcomes, and building careers that feel aligned and worthwhile.
They all started by asking the same question:
"Can this actually work in Australia?"
It can. And it already is.
