Understand. Connect. Thrive.

Experience horsemanship unlike any other. Our 5-Week Horsemanship Fundamentals Course is crafted to transform how you view and connect with horses—and, ultimately, how you see yourself. Whether you’re completely new to horses or seeking to deepen an existing bond, this program is your invitation to experience horsemanship that’s rooted in respect, intuition, and true partnership.

Ethical Horsemanship. No Force. No Gimmicks.

At EquiTune, we practice authentic, science-backed techniques that honor both you and your horse. This isn’t about control or ego. Here, you’ll learn to communicate with your equine partner through energy, breath, and body language—the same way horses connect with each other in their herd.

The Horse Chooses You.

Our 13-horse herd is intuitive, responsive, and deeply connected. In our paddock, the horse that feels aligned with your energy will choose you, leading to a unique and personal journey. This element of choice isn’t just symbolic; it’s an important foundation of ethical horsemanship, honouring the horse’s wisdom and freedom.

 

EquiTune’s Signature Foundations:

Building Safe, Authentic Horse- Human Partnerships

 

Discover Your Equine Partner
Begin with a unique selection process where a horse from our intuitive herd chooses you. This horse will be your partner throughout the entire 5-week journey, offering insight, companionship, and a connection that grows deeper with each session.

Grooming, Trust-Building, and Groundwork
Each session offers hands-on experiences with your chosen horse, such as grooming, trust exercises, and groundwork that builds a deep bond between you. Our horses live outside to provide them with the 3Fs (friends, forage, freedom) and have deep complex herd bonds, learn how we respect and honour these whilst keeping everyone safe in all interactions.

Horsemanship Through Horse Psychology
Dive into how horses view the world and learn how to communicate using energy, breath, inner awareness and balance as well as intention—key elements of a successful, ethical partnership. Whether you are a beginner or very experienced horse person - we will support you with what you need in your relationships with horses so that your interactions become effortless and peaceful.

Safety, Boundaries, and Respect
While our approach honours the freedom and choices of both horse and human, safety is the foundation of true horsemanship. You’ll learn essential techniques for establishing clear, gentle boundaries that keep both you and your equine partner secure, ensuring every interaction is rooted in mutual trust and safety.

Mindful Connection: Freedom of Choice for Both Partners
Develop skills in self-regulation and emotional awareness, fostering an atmosphere of trust and calm that both you and your equine partner can rely on.

Complete Your Journey with Gratitude and Reflection
Conclude each session by caring for your horse’s needs, learning all about the after care horses need reinforcing the relationship you’ve built, and reflecting on the mutual respect and understanding you’ve gained.

What Do You Get When You Cross a Horsewoman with 13 Insightful Horses?

You get EquiTune: a place where horses and humans connect, each tuning into the other for shared growth. Founded by Nathalie—an animal lover, horse trainer, counsellor, biomechanics coach, high level dressage and show jumping rider with a big passion for liberty (ground and ridden) and promoting two way conversations as well as freedom of speech in horsemanship as well as NLP practitioner, Seichim & Reiki Master—EquiTune combines 37 years of horsemanship expertise with a passion for well-being for all. Nat’s expertise spans high-level dressage to natural horsemanship and everything in-between, and her gift lies in honouring each horse’s unique voice. Nat believes that you never stop learning so she and the herd are always self improving and sharing their knowledge as they refine their unique approach to this ancient art of horse whispering.

“Every horse has something to teach. Every human has something to learn.”- Anon.

Our herd is a harmonious mix of ex-racehorses, warmbloods, brumbies, miniatures and show ponies—all with their own wisdom and, yes, opinions. Here, horsemanship isn’t about control; it’s about connection. Every horse and human can say “yes” or “no,” creating partnerships built on respect and true communication.

EquiTune’s Foundations Course lets you experience this unique approach. Whether you’re here to learn, heal, or just connect, this is your invitation to a truly meaningful journey with a horse who chooses you.
