about us
PARTNERING HORSES WITH HUMANS
Partnering Horses with Humans, a sole proprietorship dedicated to experiential learning through meaningful interactions with horses. We believe in the natural wisdom of the horse and the unique way horses invite people to explore communication, self-awareness, confidence, and personal growth. Participants engage in guided activities with horses and reflect on their experiences to gain insight into how they relate, lead, and respond in different situations. Many people describe a deep sense of connection with the horses, and this connection often enriches their learning experience.
Many participants find that the quiet, reflective nature of working with horses helps them slow down, notice what’s happening in the moment, and gain clarity. Horses also offer powerful feedback about how we communicate and set boundaries, inviting people to explore confidence, presence, and authentic leadership.
Guided reflection and optional journaling are woven into the experience, giving participants meaningful takeaways that they can continue to explore long after their time with the horses.
EGALIE
Egalie is a beautiful Thoroughbred–Clydesdale cross who brings a calm, grounded presence to Partnering Horses with Humans. His gentle nature and expressive way of communicating make him a remarkable teacher in our experiential learning programs.
People often describe feeling a strong sense of connection with Egalie, and many find that his responses invite them to explore confidence, boundaries, and authentic communication. His quiet wisdom enriches the learning experience for those who spend time with him.
PRESTO
Presto is a kind and sensitive Appaloosa who brings a thoughtful, intuitive presence to Partnering Horses with Humans. His responsiveness to intention makes him a remarkable teacher in our experiential learning programs, inviting participants to explore clarity, focus, and authentic communication.
People often describe feeling grounded and understood in Presto’s company, and his gentle nature creates a supportive environment for personal reflection and growth. His way of responding offers participants meaningful moments of insight as they explore how they show up in different situations.

Satisfied Customers
I have to share my experience and recommend Partnering Horses with Humans; it was truly wonderful. My sessions with Sue, Egalie, and Presto were meaningful and uplifting. The sense of calm and groundedness I felt after each visit stayed with me long after I left the farm. To my delight, I felt welcomed and connected with these incredible horses, as though they had invited me into their world. It was a gift I will always treasure.
As a health‑care worker, I reached out for general support with balance and well‑being. The time with the horses felt like a breath of fresh air and helped me reconnect with myself so I could return to my work with renewed presence and energy.
Each session offered gentle opportunities for reflection, clarity, and personal growth. The tools and practices Sue shared helped me continue exploring what I learned in my everyday life. I may return for a refresher simply because the experience was so enriching. I rest more easily now.
I am deeply grateful for Sue, Egalie, Presto, and Partnering Horses with Humans in this beautiful Muskoka setting.
