Who we are
 
Equus Elemental brings over 17 years of horse training and horsemanship expertise together with more than 20 years of combined personal growth and teaching experience to offer a unique equine guided training process. We meld these fundamentals with a keen understanding of equine communication, and the belief that horses are innate guides and teachers.
 
Our trainings incorporate experiential education models (engaging participants in direct experiences with the horses and focused personal reflection in order to increase knowledge, develop skills and clarify values), along with accelerated learning techniques (horses provide instant feedback moment by moment about our ways of being) to create long-term benefits and retention.
 
Equus Elemental is a member of the Equine Guided Education Association (EGEA).
 


Ezra’s life mission is to teach and model heart-centered leadership, guiding people towards personal empowerment so they can move out into the world and create tremendous change.  He is a horse trainer, horsemanship teacher and originator in equine guided work who began exploring the power of horses as teachers over 7 years ago laying the foundation for what would become Equus Elemental. Highly patient with people’s individual processes, his unique gifts as a teacher come from his ability to empathize with others, while still leading them towards change.

Throughout the years Ezra has had the opportunity to work in a diverse array of areas including emergency medicine, coaching, management, professional training and leading adventure tours in the U.S. and Mexico. He began mastering his equine skills over seventeen years ago managing a 2500 acre ranch in Southern Colorado, where he spent his time working with over 70 horses and guiding hundreds of people into the Rocky Mountains.

For over a decade Ezra has worked with a wide range of equine disciplines and breeds in his own horsemanship business, gaining a loyal following of students throughout the United States and into Canada.  Through the years Ezra has found the horse to be a profound teacher, offering a connection to truth that accelerates people’s personal growth beyond traditional methods.  Ezra brings his passion for growth and his wealth of experience dynamically into his work with individuals, groups and organizations.



Briana draws on a diverse background to inform her teaching and facilitation.  She is a Certified Professional Coach who has worked in corporate administration, professional development and management where her ability to focus groups towards a common goal, create accountability and mobilize creative action produced tremendous results within her organizations.  She is highly intuitive and empathetic with the ability to know how people will best receive guidance and how to communicate it. 

Her experience also includes teaching outdoor and experiential education to young adults and children where she developed curriculum aimed at creating cooperation, building relationships and increasing trust and understanding.  Additionally, for the past 12 years she has been co-creating feminine community by leading women’s circles and retreats.  She holds degrees in Women’s Studies and Sociology. 

Briana has been riding horses since the age of 12 and brings a strong foundation and understanding of the horse, and horsemanship philosophy, to her teaching.  She believes that part of the gift of the horse is to facilitate openness and learning that otherwise could not take place.  Over the past 6 years she has partnered with Ezra to train people in areas of business, goal setting and personal development.  Briana’s life work has always been focused on service to others, empowering them to manifest their own highest purpose. 



Judy is a Certified Equine Guided Educator (CEGE) with an uncanny ability to intuitively elicit, identify, and interpret another’s inner emotions combined with their outward appearance, body language, and actions. She is an award winning television writer, director, producer, and actress who spent 28 years in the entertainment industry.  Judy was published in “Chicken Soup For The Horse Lover’s Soul”, and her past work includes private coaching, teaching workshops, classes and seminars, and speaking at colleges. She encourages her students to identify what they want and then make positive choices to achieve their goals.

Judy’s earliest & fondest memories are of horses. Their awe-inspiring presence struck a deep heart-felt connection that continues to thrill and fulfill her life long passionate journey. She began rehabilitating “problem” horses and their owners over twenty years ago in the Los Angeles area and worked part time as a trail guide in Griffith Park. She has been a devoted student of natural horsemanship for the past nine years under the tutelage of many acclaimed and highly skilled clinicians and teachers.

She is committed to honoring and expanding your process as revealed by the horse, as well as honoring the horses’ process in this unique experience. Her dedication, awareness, passion, and encouragement create a safe environment where you have the opportunity to learn tools and techniques, which can be integrated into all areas of your life.
