creating positive relationships between horse and human

About Us

Does this sound like you? ↓

  • Are you ready to develop a willing partnership with your horse but don't know where to start?
  • Do you want to know how to find lasting success with positive reinforcement training?
  • Have you searched for a program that provides personalized, one-on-one support?
  • Are you new to the horse world and looking to start off on the right foot with your equine companion?
  • Do you feel alone and ostracized and just wish you had a supportive community to share with?
  • Is your horse reactive, anxious, or defensive and you know something needs to change?


Then The Willing Equine Academy is for you!

The Academy offers community, education, and support on a private online platform. Highly informative and supportive, the Academy focuses on empowering each individual with thorough educational content, personalized feedback, and support that extends far beyond training.

By joining this community, you’re taking the first step to building a willing partnership with your horse. The Willing Equine Academy is more than just a community or a collection of courses - it’s an experience that will guide and empower you along every step of your horsemanship journey.

Unlike many programs out there that are monthly subscription-based or only centered around one large course, TWE’s Academy is a unique pay-for-only-what-you-need format, centered around a community that you have lifelong free access to after signing up for your first course. After that, you only ever pay for the courses and training support you want while still having so much support from TWE professionals and community members alike.
