Holistic Equitation – A kinder approach to horses

Teaching through the wisdom of horses

Leading the way in Equine REALationship through, feeling, intuition and peacefulness!

Holistic Equitation was founded by Jo Sheval and Kailie Nott out of the desire to teach people how to transform themselves and their relationships with horses by working through the physical, mental and emotional blocks of self.

Jo Sheval has spent 25 years studying self and spiritual development and owes many of her insights to the wisdom of her herd of horses who she observes and spends time with daily. Jo has been gifted with copious amounts of inspirational life lessons both good and challenging. Jo has a highly developed intuition and is hyper empathic which enables her to read phenomenal interactions with horses and people bringing about healing and transformation for both horse and human.

Kailie is a purest who has over 30 years experience in classical dressage and natural horsemanship. Kailie has an unmatched authority assisting the rider and horse to reach levels unimagined to them. Kailie shares her wealth of knowledge with students creating lightness, feel and most of all a deep, trusting and connected relationship with their horse.

Together Kailie and Jo have created an unbreakable honour code ~ The horse must always be considered as a willing partner, sentient, intelligent being and that must never be compromised.

As a dedicated team of highly skilled and creative individuals we bring you a fresh and holistic approach to being and communicating with horses. In our experience, we find that people who are drawn to us are looking for more than what’s on offer by the majority of horse trainers and clinicians. They are usually, but not always, not interested in equestrian competition. The people we teach have a bigger picture in mind and that is the relationship and well being of their horse. They love to ride their horses, but hold the integrity of the relationship as paramount.

We work with individuals and groups who have evolved past a place of their own needs and are now wishing to explore a deeper experience with their sentient being friends. The awareness we teach enables people to develop a stronger, more authentic line of communication, improving ground and riding skills beyond their expectation.

“What we teach is more of a transformational experience of self through the wisdom of the horse.”

Our goal is to show people the beauty and personal power they hold within themselves and how this can be reflected in their relationship with their horses and of course all relationships.

When you find your inner balance and peace this reflects in all aspects of your interaction with your horse.

Our experiences, collectively has shown us many aspects of life such as happiness/sadness, death/birth, joy/struggle and peace/anger. We have had life experiences that have had equal balances of support and challenge which has made us who we are today. We are a team of strong, focused, successful individuals who have united with one cause in mind – to make life better on this planet for horses and their human friends.

Collectively, the team have been very fortunate to have studied with some amazing world mentors in many complimentary fields such as horse training, animal communication, healing, marketing and self development and have dedicated a good part of their lives to self-improvement and teaching the principles they have learned along the way.

Equine Facilitated Learning

Jo has spent 3.5 Years working with Elaine Hughes and the YMCA at the Malmsbury Youth Justice Centre, running leadership and empowerment programs. The programs ran over 2 days and involved many activities with the boys. We witnessed many shifts and moments with the boys that were both moving and inspiring. The EFL workshop was one of the centres most successful programs. The YMCA recently lost their contract with the Malmsbury Centre. (Left Jo and Elaine at the centre)
