Help Rire Become a Equine Assisted Learning Facilitator

Help Me Fulfill a Lifelong Dream: To Make My Passion For Horses a Career and further my education by Becoming a qualified Equine-Assisted Learning Facilitator!

Dear Friends and Family,

This isn't just a donation, this is for anyone who wants to EXPERIENCE This work, to pre-book a session with me!

I’ve carried the spirit of the horse in my heart since childhood and dear ones, I’m asking for your support as I take the next step in my equine education: To become a qualified Equine Assisted Learning Facilitator. To achieve this goal, I need to raise $3,000 to cover the fees of this transformative training.

For anyone who pledges $150 or more, you will be pre-booked with an "Embodied Equine" (My Brand) Session from me to claim within the next 4 months.

About the Program:

The Equine Immersion and Education Program (EIEP) will equip me with the foundational skills to create meaningful, ethical, and safe equine-assisted learning sessions. This training will blend horses, humans, and nature-based experiences, drawing on a variety of equine practices focused on education and well-being. The program includes ongoing mentorship and connections to local community networks, helping me integrate my learning and develop a career in facilitating impactful equine-human interactions.

The training draws on the expertise of world-class international professionals, delivered through an interactive forum. This will allow me to integrate new knowledge with my existing skills under the guidance of the highly experienced team at Equine Experience International.

My Journey:

My love for horses began when I was just 5 years old. I had horse posters on my walls, read every horse book I could find, and spent hours playing imaginary horse games. At 6, I started riding at a local school and was immediately hooked. Despite our limited resources, my mum’s unwavering support made it possible for us to live our dream. We worked hard, took on challenging horses, and found incredible adventure and joy in our passion.

Growing up in Aotearoa, I dedicated myself to my horses. We explored beautiful landscapes, grew through Pony Club, competed in ODE events, and built unforgettable experiences. Though I later ventured into travel and young adulthood, the spirit of the horse remained a constant in my life.

In 2017, I moved to the Northern Rivers and had the incredible opportunity to merge with local horse whisperer Cal Snel and his herd. I developed a deep bond with a Warmblood named Patau and continued to learn from remarkable horsewomen like Candi Baker and Susy May. This period was pivotal in my equine journey, leading to the rescue and training of 2 sweet ponies and the deepening of my connection with horses through intuitive groundwork and Positive reinforcement training with my two boys Jiva & Biggy.

Life has changed a lot in the last 6 months, and now, as a single mother, I’ve shifted my focus to how I can support myself and my Son, while still living my passion. Harnessing the healing power of horses to support the well-being of others. In my current sessions as "Embodied Equine" I help people build confidence and self-esteem through energetic awareness and hands-on skills with horses, yet it's time to take this to the next level.

How You Can Help:

By pre-booking your session with me, will help me pay the fees upfront and bring my dream to life to further my education with horses and become an Equine Assisted Learning Professional. I only need 20 people to commit to a session within the next 4 months.

Your commitment will not only help me achieve this dream but also enable me to continue sharing the healing and empowering benefits of working with horses. Thank you for considering this opportunity to be part of my journey.

With Love and gratitude,

Rire Christina Norman
