Equine Facilitated Practitioner Training

At Horse Haven Uk we offer an accredited, in depth, 5 day practical training. The practical training is followed by ongoing support and mentoring.

Most of our work is outdoors but we do have a cosy wood burner in our workshop for those moments when we need to warm up and have a hot cuppa.

Due to the practical nature of our equine facilitated practitioner training previous students have left with the confidence to use the skills learned.

Suzannah developed the course, as a result of seeing many positive outcomes with clients from EFL taster days.

The diploma is accredited by the Institute of Animal Care Education.

The training is also approved and accredited with CPD (Continuing Professional Development). It carries 35 hours CPD.

Your diploma will entitle you to membership of ACCPH (Accredited Counselors, Coaches, Psychotherapists and Hypnotherapists).

The HHUK diploma will also enable you to obtain insurance at a discounted price.

WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID

Over the years I have attended many courses and training events. I have never left any others feeling so empowered to use the information given.

Sally Morris

I can honestly say this was one of the best and most enjoyable weeks of my life! The team at HorseHaven U.K. are welcoming, professional and perceptive.
I’d been looking for a course to combine my psychology background and love of horses and had tried taster days elsewhere. None had met my expectations until I came here.
I left the course with a fuller understanding of its principles, confident and keen to start with my partner. Knowing that support is ongoing beyond the course is another positive.
A huge bonus was the incredible group of women I worked with and laughed with who were also on the course.
The only negative was leaving… But thankfully there are lots of other courses to tempt me back!
If you are thinking of doing EFL training – do it here and don’t hesitate!

Lisa Broome

Did the EFL Diploma with Suzannah at Horse Haven UK and it was everything she says it will be…and more! It was honestly transformational. The learning is done in an organic way, surrounded by support and encouragement. This makes it hugely powerful and I came away energised on an emotional level as well as raring and ready to go with my own equine facilitated learning business.

Carole Guy

I was welcomed immediately (along with Foxy the dog) – the course & tutors were extremely good, very knowledgable & patient…. The content was full & explicit taken step by step ….
The trainers encouraged us from day one to work as a team & the team became close, supporting each other when necessary. Enjoyed the week & happy to have the qualification – so glad to have met everyone ….. if your thinking about going on any of the courses … don’t think about it – DO IT !!

Kirsty Edwards

I had a fab week of forward thinking self-exploration with Suzannah and David and the herd. I met some amazing and inspiring people and most of all, was able to bring my previous horse knowledge together into something that excites me for the future. Would definitely recommend.

Marcel Batalla Olivé

Amazed by this training course (Equine Facilitated Learning) we’ve just passed. Very professional and well conducted to make each student skilled and capable to help people by counting on the horses help. Indeed! there is a huge difference when you can learn from someone very knowledgeable. What it is not mentioned is the huge amount of lives this course is going to help thanks to the skills that the students acquire

Ellen Meeson

Whether you are looking for a different approach to the world of horses or some help making sense of it, Suzannah and her team are brilliant, and very supportive. Thoroughly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about EFL.

Sandra Robinson

I had been looking for a year to find a non commercial, no nonsense EFL course which was also affordable and this course was recommended from people who work in the EFL field. The team at Horse Haven were very supportive and were determined to make it work for everyone. I also enjoyed some one to one coaching time with David and Suzannah and could not have felt in safer hands. The horses were lovely to work with and the team have the well being of the horses as a priority. As a total bonus the home made lunches were just lovely. Give them a call. Don’t hesitate.

rachel hartopp

Had the most fantastic time this week completing the EFL Diploma. Highly recommended.

Janey

Thank you to Suzannah, my professional confidence was on the floor and your patience and professionalism helped me to get back to where I wanted to be. Massively recommend horse haven uk to anyone wanting time, space and support to grow and development. Thank you x

Sorel T

Well! What can I say about this place? I went on an EFL course taking all of my baggage with me, trust me I have a lot!! I was greeted with so much love and support from both human and equine that I came away a very different person indeed.  Cannot praise them enough and cannot recommend them highly enough either! The horses are amazingly happy and relaxed, always ready to help the needy and sometimes when the needy don’t even know they are needy!! I am not a people person but I would happily spend the rest of my life in the company of the Horsehaven crew because there is absolutely no judgement or pressure, when I was ready, they were waiting with kindness and love. I will be going back!!

Lisa Deacon

Beautifully trained horses and professional tutors.
Lots of individual attention and plenty of practical assessments. Treated to a scrummy lunch everyday. I have taken many skills away with me and can now have the confidence to apply them. Well recommended
