🌟Certified Equine Interaction Practitioner Spotlight! 🌟

Kristin Keppler
Founder of and EAL Coach at Horses as Partners located in Crane, Missouri USA

This program began as a dream in Kristin's mind when she started her Natural Horsemanship journey under the guidance and mentoring of the Parelli Natural Horsemanship program in 2007. The Horsemanship journey began in 1996 when she bought her first Arabian mare. In 1998 a c**t was born who would become Kristin's partner, teacher and heart horse, Julian. That partnership led to the idea of putting people and horses together to build confidence, leadership and connection. Kristin enrolled in the Sheez Like the Wind Equine Experiences EIEP program and became certified as an Equine Interaction Experiences Practitioner (EIEP). Kristin also holds a BA in Psychology and Sociology, is a Foster Care Case Manager and a Certified Life Coach. The Horses as Partners program is perfect for anyone who wants to learn to build healthy boundaries, develop their confidence, or connect with one of the most sensitive, honest and magnificent animals on earth...the horse! Let Kristin share her passion with you. Your heart will feel inspired and your soul will feel empowered!

How does a horse help a teen develop confidence and learn trauma coping skills?
How does a horse help a woman overcome abuse and learn about healthy boundaries and inner strength?
How does a horse help a child work through the trauma of abuse and neglect?
How does a horse help a warrior find their inner strength after coming home from deployment?

Horses have a natural ability to mirror and connect with us. They are honest and can teach us through that honesty and sensitivity.

As a Certified Equine Interaction Experiences Coach, I can help facilitate that growth. I have over 20 years of experience with horses as a breeder and trainer as well.

In honor and memory of the best horse partner a girl could have, I am sharing my new logo for the dream that Julian helped me to define. Though it's not his image that I used, it's been created to honor what Julian and I started working on when I chose to learn the Parelli program and spend a month on the ranch in Pagosa Springs, CO back in 2011. I have chosen today to unveil this new logo today, the anniversary of Julian's passing. A huge THANK YOU to Alex Hoffman of Hoal Designs for the graphic artwork!!! So, here it is:
