Mindful Horsemanship at Equuvation Therapy + Education Center

At Equuvation Therapy + Education Center in Statesville, this clinic focuses on cultivating a cooperative partnership between horse and human through mindfulness and co-creation rather than control. Participants explore grounding, awareness, and mindful movement to deepen connection, clarify communication, and build a safe, enjoyable relationship with their horses. The program examines the subtle ways horses speak through movement, position, energy, and body language, and offers practice in holding a supportive space that encourages relaxation and mutual attunement. Through gentle touch and movement, hands-on exercises help horses soften, release excess tension, and find greater suppleness and ease. The day concludes with an option to ride, emphasizing guidance that treats the horse as an extension of the rider’s body, with attention to balance, suppleness, and alignment for the horse’s comfort. Those who choose not to ride continue with advanced groundwork tailored to each horse. The clinic is led by Stacey Carter, a rider and educator with more than forty years of experience whose background includes Pony Club, combined training, foxhunting, and work with a wide range of horses and riders. She is a PATH Certified Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning, a Registered Yoga Teacher, a Certified Debono Moves Practitioner, and the founder of Heart Centered Horsemanship, established over two decades ago to honor equine sentience and support emotional and physical well-being. Drawing on extensive experience helping horses move past fear and tension, she focuses on empowering humans with the awareness, communication skills, and embodied presence needed to become safe, confident, and compassionate partners that horses can trust.
