Hey hey hey ho ho ho ho. And a merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas to all of you. Whew! Oh, this is an exciting day. So we're going to go quickly through our normal stuff because we want to tell you about Retro Christmas. To let you guys know who we are. My name is Carolyn Charles. I'm the director of sales
and marketing.

Hey everyone. My name is Kari Fulmek. The founder of the Equine Connection and master instructor helping people globally around the world do what it is that we do. We thought, what can we do differently this year? We're going back in time a little bit. And a big part of this I think is our idea for us, what Christmas has always felt like and then what it's kind of turned into. And it's interesting. At a market this weekend, it wasn't the handmade stuff. It wasn't any of the stuff that
was like an old school Christmas. Where did it go? Like, it's so sad because those old markets, you would go there and there'd be some woodwork and there'd be things made of twigs or there'd be different wreaths or, you know, socks, like fun Christmas stuff.

This was all just sales stuff. And it was really sad because it's a beautiful, beautiful place and it was very Christmassy, but none of the vendors were there. There were no vendors that had their, you know, homemade jellies or, I don't know, it was just different not having the old school Christmas stuff
That's what we're feeling like we need this year. So that's what we're doing. We're going back and we're going back in time, not just to have the feeling, but also to have some of the pricing in there, too.

But going back in time, it's been well, it's been a long time since we've been doing this. So we are going off of the number 17, because this is 17 years this year that we've been in business. Can you comprehend that?

The greatest thing with our certification is the welfare of the horse comes first, hands down. We never say, oh, it's okay, we're just going to use the horse once. No. No using the ponies. With this certification, we literally allow them to teach. So it's exciting, so exciting. And for those of you who are new here, or maybe you haven't heard of equine assisted learning before, even this is really a different way to work on the ground with horses, to
help people build the life skills that they need to move forward.

At Equine Connection we don't do sales or discounts or things like that because, well, first of all, once you're with us and your certification, you're with us forever. So really the investment is a huge part of what we're giving. And of course, we always give, give, give back. I mean, we've had facilitators with us for over 12 years, so it's cool once you do that one investment.

But we're like, what should we do this year for Christmas? Because we've done it many times, you know, where it's the 12 days of Christmas. And I do have to say last year really affected our hearts because there were so many beautiful messages. Okay, we'll just show you guys. Olden days. This is the first classroom for teaching the certified course. I'd like you to take a look at the ceiling. Yeah, because it was fancy. The table. That was before we even painted it. This was like, right when we first started in olden days, like, oh my gosh, I just cannot believe how far we have come. But I mean,
like, where's our logo? Excellent knowledge and stuff?

And then we have what's this one? I just love our old logo. So back in the day when I had asked Carolyn to join the team. We created Equine Connection and she created this logo, which I absolutely love. But it used to be called the Spiritual Equine Connection. Well, lo and behold, we could not use the word spiritual. because when we were working with corporations like team building or schools here in Canada, you're not
allowed to say the word God. So everyone was thinking it was spiritual, as in. Well, I guess God's way, but it was the spirit of the spirit, of course.
So we had to do a focus group and we had to change our name to just Equine Connection. But I want to show this picture. I'm really sad about that too, because it was such a cool old logo. We changed it to Equine Connection, and it's so exciting that it is happening now because we're going into our 17th year. So I want you to also understand 17 is the key, because it means only 17 of you are going to be able to get this retro special. That's right.

Is that not beyond exciting? Plus you don't have to work for it. Which means we're not making you do a video. No, we're not making you send us a letter. Or pictures? No. I mean, although we would love them and we thought about doing it. But maybe we should let you know what the retro part of this is and how we're going back. So the pricing for the course right now is $6,997. And that is for the thoroughbred. You get the business pack, you get the support for life, you get everything you need to be a successful facilitator in this industry. Training, practice, tutorial, videos. And I can't
express enough the amount of free training. It's always unlimited.

Yeah, because you have a global team. Like we're always learning more about the horse and more about how to run these programs, more about how we approach our organizations and clients. So they understand the value that you're bringing to your community. So it's like outrageous everything that you've received. And the business pack is loaded to the gunnels. It's just the Cadillac of all things. The whole course is the most amazing course. It is a life changing course which our facilitators globally will vouch for because they've been with us for years and years and years, and it's so fun. It has to keep people engaged. It can't be boring. It can't just be answer-read, answer-read. You know, so it's like you're in the classroom with us. The whole thing is really set up beautifully. There's no yucky poo poo surrounding this joint. So the bonus with all of that is you get that online theory that's done from the comfort of your own home, so you understand what the heck equine assisted learning is all about? And again, as Carolyn says, no mounting the horse. You are just on the ground with the
horse. Which is so nice because if you're like me, you don't want to get into the riding area. (To all of you who ride and teach, kudos to you).

Then you get the three day hands on, in person training to bring the magic all together. And of course, then you have us for life. So people, you gotta really love us because we're with you always. Because we've got a motto here, we are not successful until
you are 100%. And we stand by that.

Okay, so the current pricing for this is $6,997. But because of retro Christmas, we're knocking everything over. We're going back in time. So the pricing at that point was $4,597. So for the first 17 people that registered for this, that is what the pricing is going to be for you. So in order to get this just so you all can get on there and you get everything, everything that you see now, everything that comes with the thoroughbred package that's yours for only the $4,597 smackers, life changing course, that now you are doing your purpose, you're fulfilled. Your destiny is calling your name. I can finally work with my horses. That cost me loads of money. Now I get to have the business set up and I get to have the write offs, and I get to have all those beautiful pieces again. We've been doing this for 17 years and it's been so exciting. There's never a day where we think, oh, we got to go to work because the work is like, oh my gosh, we get to go to work and help a human being to make a change. But because the horse does the teaching it is even more amazing to watch.

This is a huge Christmas present for 17 lucky peeps. I think that's the best part of Christmas is we give so much all the time. And I think as women it's on a regular basis. We're always giving, giving, so give to yourself. Santa is looking out for you this year. It took a long time to start understanding how the horse is so precious in the teaching area. You know, because a lot of us who are horse people, we've got our horsemanship skills, which is always fantastic. However, sometimes we forget to see how that horse is speaking and their world and their culture.

So it's been the most outrageous ride ever. And the new training that comes along with this Certification. The leveled up programs where we're using the same energies that the horse is using and never pulling on a horse's head, have changed our world. Bring it up on your computer. One thing I have to say about that piece, too, is we're never afraid to keep learning or to be humbled. If you're afraid to be humbled and you want to work with horses, you're in the wrong industry because they humble you regularly.

We have decided to come up with this piece of “we know nothing now”. We know a lot in the grand scheme of things, of horses, like a lot, and we keep gathering information all the time. But when we sit back for a second, we say no, we know nothing. In the grand scheme of things of horses, it allows us to keep bringing in information all the time so that we can keep passing it on, so we know we are doing the best for our horses, and we know that we are working with them in the best way possible to keep moving forward as a business as well.

So for retro Christmas, we'll do this one, just so you guys can really understand. You're welcome. That was our exciting piece for the day.

So this is it. Retro Christmas coming your way. Only 17 spots available. It's the first ones to book in for the retro instead of the $6,997, which includes everything. And you have us for life plus training, plus your online course, plus your business pack, plus yo in-person training where you can choose where you want to go in the world.

We have tons in the USA that we're going to. We have Australia, and of course we have here in Canada three different places we're going this year. So you can pick where it is you want to go and if you can't travel. We actually have the “no travel training” as well, which is stunning.

All for $4,597. And hey, if any of you are from the US, just so you know, this is Canadian dollars now. That's right, Canadian dollars are very yucky here. That means we don't have good money. USA, you have fabulous money. So when you click the button for the $4,597, when your bank does the currency exchange, you will see you've got around a 30% savings when it converts it to your US dollar. I think it's around $1,200 difference or lower in conversion.
Congratulations to all of the people who got the Retro Special!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2025!
