Inspirit Horsemanship supports horse and rider to overcome the hierarchy that is traditionally embedded in their relationship, so that they may rediscover their sovereign selves and co-create a unified partnership.

Our Services

Developed by Doug McLean and Tina Llewellyn, Inspirit horsemanship focuses on building an emotionally intimate partnership between horse and rider, where the greatest connection and sovereignty can be found.

Within a container of trust, mutual respect, compassion and receptivity, both horse and rider are equipped with the tools they need to create a symbiotic partnership.

Heal. Grow. Evolve.

1:1 Sessions

For the student who is experiencing a block in their riding or in their relationship with their horse or coach. You will be given tools to bring back to your lessons and relationships to work through these blocks.

Workshops

Workshops are a chance for students to learn within community, and are a great opportunity for students who ride in lessons together to work through any interpersonal difficulties they may be experiencing.

Coach & Student Sessions

For coach and rider who are experiencing difficulties in their relationship and communication. These joint sessions help you to re-establish open and clear communication and understanding.

Presentations

Presentations are a chance to observe the work of Inspirit Horsemanship, and to ask questions about this approach. These are a chance to open up to new possibilities of what horse-rider relationships can look like.

Meet the Founders:

Doug McLean and Tina Llewellyn met at an advanced F.E.E.L.® (Facilitated Equine Experiential Learning®) training. They were partnered together through the day and as a result, their connection grew. They bonded over a common history and passion to reinvent the equestrian world, by transitioning it from one of commodity and dominance, to one of intentionality, connection, and healing.

They believe a horse-centered approach, from barn-care to horseback, will create a more balanced and well-rounded space. They envision a space where horse and rider can learn from one another and heal within partnership. Through this, they will each emerge more confident, liberated, and willing.

Meet the Herd:
