An Apprenticeship
Program
A Training Program for Individuals
Who Want to Study our Method.
This Independent Study Course spans 18 months and will consist
of three integrated components; dynamic psychology, perennial
philosophy and the equestrian arts /studies as a unique way to
promote human development, advancement and leadership. You do
not need to know about horses to participate. However, the
lessons gained from understanding the nature of horses, and
exploring the various ways enlightened cultures for centuries
have used the equine to benefit and inspire humanity will not
only be educational but valuable and practically applicable to
the work you do in your individual settings.
Our unique method is born of rigor and substance, based upon
years of experience and study. We designed this Psycho-spiritual
Analysis Course with these building blocks in mind so our
apprentices (students) leave with a foundation built upon more
than just “feelings and opinions.” Philosophically, we not only
believe in experiential lessons but academic ones as well, which
stress content as much as process.
We give you theory and practice so you can think critically,
philosophically and act creatively. We give you assigned and
structured study materials, readings and assignments.
HOW OUR 18-MONTH PROGRAM
DIFFERS
FROM OTHERS
Our 18-month Psychospiritual AnalysisTM program varies
greatly from what we know of the others currently in existence.
First, we have a uniquely designed model of working with horses
and people. Our 18 month program is more academic because we
expect our students to learn content in the disciplines of
psychology, philosophy and the equestrian arts.
Since our expertise and higher degrees are in developmental
/depth psychology we want our students to have a strong
theoretical background in order to ground their perceptions and
integrate and base their work.
We are also highly trained Equestrians in our own right. In our
lifelong study of the Equestrian arts we have apprenticed and
been trained for many years by some of the top International
Ecuyers of Latin (Spanish, French and Portuguese) Dressage in
the world such as Dominique Barbier and J.P. Giacomini. We are
not only schooled in Latin Classical horsemanship but we are
breeders and trainers of horses.
We not only know Doma Classical and Doma Vaquera from the Spanish
Riding School but we know the diverse styles of training during
different epochs in history such as the Baroque versus the
Middle Ages. Our method is very unique and reflects our
diversified but in-depth studies in the area of psychology,
mysticism/philosophy and horses.
Following completion of the Course individuals will be given
Certification.

“Problems have solutions, but mysteries don’t, because the more
we understand a mystery the more we realize how much more there
is to it than we had realized at the start. The larger the
island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder.”
