Back home... Thank you for being
part of this awesome VISION and REALITY....
Andrea Heuck, Germany
Many thanks, this conference was very helpful and very interesting.
Right now, I still sort all the information that I have co-written
purely nothing. It will be helpful to find the presentations on the
webpage and to have the contact list right now. The organization was
great, there was nothing missing. I can not express how much I have
learned. The speakers gave a very good overview in so many different
topics. Perfectly! Come together for me a lot of information here
that I really need. Not least I now know better to whom I can turn
to understand more. You know the expression in the face of people
who then ask, "Why do you want to know so exactly? What do you need
it at all?" Now ... it takes a long time .... :-)
I thought I'd record a little message
instead of a “normal” mail.
I enjoyed the time in the US very, very much, thank you for
everything. Jackie, please give my special thanks to the horses and
Holly too. Hope to see you soon!
Chris Goodall, USA
Thank you all so much for putting on
this conference and for bringing it to the USA!!!
I need a certificate or some type of "proof of attendance" to turn
into my employer as they are reimbursing me for the conference. I
hope to see you in the future (maybe in Poland?!)
Back home with a BLISS hangover. I
feel totally transformed.
Hello EAHAE'ers. I'm experimenting
with a free and private social website for friends and members of
EAHAE to share photos, research, questions, announcement and best
practices together. And especially friendships. This isn't
officially affiliated with EAHAE, but I'm acting on David's
invitation to act in behalf of what we'd like to see happen in the
organization. Come have a look and join if you are interested. The
site will send daily summaries of content updates to your registered
email address. It might be a great way to stay in touch! I don't yet
have a full email list. Perhaps you could help build one by sending
invitations to those you've met at the conference that are missing
from the site. You could say I'm brining the herd home. Hugs and
Zebra kisses to all.
Thank-you for putting on such a
wonderful conference. It was such a pleasure to meet you and your
family and friends, and I feel very full and excited!!
Diane Ratkovich, USA
Sending gratitude to everyone for
your sharing, fabulous presence and kindness throughout the
conference. I wake up every morning singing good morning and go into
my day with power, excitement and empathy. I am thankful for the
brilliant thoughtfulness every level.
I really enjoyed the EAHAE conference
and being a part of the “family” was very powerful. Thank you for
all that you are doing with this work and for bringing the
conference to the US.
I really appreciate it!!
We can't thank you both enough for
the opportunity to be a part of your global community. What
extraordinary work you have done. Congratulations.
Karin Stock, USA
Thank you again for inviting me to
speak at the EAHAE conference. You and your partners put on a
fabulous conference and I very much enjoyed hearing the stories and
meeting others who conduct equine-assisted training. I only wish I
could have been there for the whole event.
Thank you all so much. It was great
to be back with everyone in Ohio. What positive energy and love
shared by all. When you leave it only enforces how magical and lucky
I was to be apart of Jackie's groups, workshops, conferences and the
herd. I miss you all. With gracefulness and love, Kim.
Thank you Jackie, Herb, Gerhard,
Karin, David and Sharon for a wonderful experience at EAHAE. It was
a beautifully designed conference. I learned a lot and enjoyed
spending time with you all. Wishing you much joy and success in the
important work you are doing!
Thank you for an incredible
conference. The learning community is exceptional. I hope this is a
way to include the Canadians in this program. I will do my best to
communicate the proceedings across Canada.
Lindsay Shea, USA

Jackie and seeing all of you and meeting fun fun new people. It was
a great conference.
Gerhard, David and Jackie Lowe
Stevenson THANK YOU all so much for a terrific conference!! So
excited to be a part of this exciting and profound work!!
Melinda Blackwell, USA
It was indeed, a wonderful
conference. I was energized and renewed by playing with, and
learning from, this eclectic herd of humans and critters. My only
negative issue was dealing with missing ya'll and feeling a bit
homesick for my EAHAE family.
AMAZING conference-- I met some of
the most wonderful colleagues and reconnected with others. Content,
venue, energy-level---all just the best. What a wonderfully
refreshing and invigorating 3+ days-- enough to last until next
year!
This event was absolutely fantastic.
I don't know enough words in English to express how grateful I am. I
don't have enough words in Russian to tell how much it impressed
me. It was a life-changing experience! THANK YOU, Gerhard, my
dearest teacher. Thank you to every person I met in OHIO.
I’d like to tell you how moved I was
when I came back from the conference !
Since back, I had a week off and it was a time for me to reflect,
emotionally and mentally process what we have been living together
with horses!
I don’t know yet the impact of this within the next few months, but
sure there’s a new shift ongoing, the one shift we sometimes see
with clients in the wonderful job we are spreading across the globe
! All the best to you all ! And see you soon.
The EAHAE Conference 2013
started off with a bang (literally) on Thursday evening! Jackie
Stevenson held her Native American drum aloft to gather the group as
a community of rhythm, motion and emotion. It was a reminder that
although we have come together from different countries, the horses
tell us that we all speak the same language. Gerhard Krebs, founder
of HorseDream and the EAHAE, reinforced that our communication is
based on the three tenets of respect, trust and love. Everyone is
excited to see Pebble Ledge Ranch tomorrow morning, and meet the
herd. We will be learning about the Spirit of Leadership, with horse
presentation demos, speakers and panels. The excitement is palpable
and magic is in the air! (Tiffany shared
her impressions of all four days)
Thank you all for a nice conference, great speakers, lovely weather
and magic ranch !!
