Core Principles of Equine Assisted Services Course

Good structured course. Well balanced programme – educational sessions and practical activities… And most important – motivating informal conversations, friendly and open-minded atmosphere. Thank you! Looking forward to EAT course!

Very informative! It was really good to connect with like-minded people and I feel like the course was very fruitful and I took a lot from it. Online modules were very well presented and I really enjoyed the practical aspect also. Both Vera and Carlos were very welcoming and ready to answer and assist.

I’m deeply grateful for the enriching weekend spent with Svitani, exploring the core principles of equine assisted therapy. The training provided not only a solid theoretical foundation, but also meaningful experiential learning that allowed me to connect more deeply with both the horses and the therapeutic process. Thank you for the inspiration, insight, and shared humanity.

A great seminar with great ideas, approaches and instructors. The most important thing for me is that I met people who share the same philosophy and professionalism, and we could understand each other so easily, as if we’ve known each other for years.

Attending this course and spending the weekend in Malta was an amazing learning opportunity. It offered enough details and covered a lot of areas, but the best part was having the opportunity to share experiences and learn from different professionals. I am looking forward to having the chance to attend more courses and I am grateful for this one-of-a-kind experience.

Carmen GeorgescuSpecial Education Student, Romania

The course was very informative and detailed. It was also written in a very understandable way and everything was well explained. These 2 practical days gave me an extra insight and more ideas. It was a very good summary of the whole course plus having hands-on practice which helped me to understand more. Thank you for your dedication, as it was so informative for a good price.

I had chosen the course to gain more knowledge in the field of EAS since I started working as a horse leader. I am happy that I was able to learn from Vera’s impressive expertise in the field of hippotherapy. A good mix of theory, practice and exchanging experiences made the course enriching. I would recommend the course to everyone who is interested in working in EAS.

I enrolled in the basic EAT course with leaders Vera and Carlos. The course was quite useful for me even though I already had basic knowledge on the subject. I met other people from other countries who were willing to exchange experiences. Vera and Carlos were quite patient with us, they explained everything to us well enough and in an accessible way. I had the opportunity to touch their world, from their point of view, for which I am incredibly grateful to them!

Maria Anastasova NichevaPhysiotherapist, Bulgaria

Even if I knew some of the themes we were discussing at the course, I was surprised again by all the new things, tips, ideas and knowledge I met here. The way all the information that was given to us on theory and practice, even specific physical and learning specialists, was understandable and useful for me – just a horse person. The most beautiful for me was the knowledge we are not alone. We have the support of all the participants and lecturers. New friendships happened. I feel much more brave and confident that we are on the right way. Thank you!

Maria Nestorova Конна база Кичево, Bulgaria

I really liked the practical part of the course. I appreciate the fact that we were given the opportunity to observe a real session, to share opinions, ask questions, even give examples of our own experience. A lot of new information for me was given, including recommendations for the equipment needed for therapy. We all shared useful information regarding the topic and the group was nice, cooperative and easygoing.

Alexandra PavlenkovaSpeech Therapist, Bulgaria

The course was very beneficial, led by EAS experts. The course brought me a lot of new information and knowledge. I recommend this course to everyone who wants to learn about EAS. Thanks to this course, I have gained a lot of new knowledge and made contacts with experts in EAS to continue moving my knowledge forward.

I really enjoyed the course, the knowledge shared, the presentation times were very well organised, and the different subjects. A very well-developed theoretical and practical part. A very enriching experience. A very harmonious group from the professional field. I really liked it, I will promote and share it. Thank you and best wishes.

An excellent theoretical opportunity to complement and consolidate knowledge. A positive and constructive training environment. An experienced training group, enabling the exchange of experiences and openness to future connections. A team of competent trainers with strong command of the topics addressed. A complete training setting with the ability to adapt to challenges posed by adverse weather conditions. Congratulations, and onwards to the future in the development of EAS at both national and international levels.
