The HHH Curriculum Certification Program

Expanding our Territory and Impact

Since COVID, isolation, fear, trauma, depression, hopelessness, anger, emotional instability and difficulty communicating in a positive way have affected more people than ever - not just veterans, but everyday families, friends and neighbors.

That’s why HHH has extended our services to the private sector through our Trauma-Informed Equine Certification Program. This program gives horse owners and individuals like you the tools, structure and credibility to lead groundwork-based equine sessions modeled after our proven programs.

Whether you already help others through your horses or want to start or assist, this certification will strengthen your impact and provide a recognized framework you can use with confidence. Once certified, you may lead HHH-modeled programs under your own nonprofit, or integrate them into a for-profit venture - the framework is designed to serve both.

ALL ARE WELCOME!​ From ages 18 and up, our certification is designed to benefit anyone called to connect with horses and people in meaningful ways.

THE NEED IS GREAT, THE TIME IS NOW… AND NOW YOU CAN HELP!

Shared trust and communication with a horse is a relationship unlike any other: A friendship between a person and a powerful steed - one with moods of its own, explosive strength, and a mind to yield or not. The experience is life-changing. Mutual rhythm, focus and respect make-up the partnership, and if one shares such a union, they can’t help but want more. Additionally, “horse-lessons-learned” are designed specifically to improve one’s relationships with family, friends AND in the workplace.

  We look forward to partnering with you on your journey to help others experience THE THERAPEUTIC WONDER OF HORSES!

Based on the approach, principles and training found in our HHH Certification Curriculum, we empower horse owners and enthusiasts to effectively lead and/or handle their personal horses, or to serve other organizations that offer Equine-Assisted Programs. The HOPE and HEALING at HILLENGLADE Team will also offer to evaluate owners’ horses and workspaces for suitability to host future HHH Equine-Assisted Programs at their own farm or ranch. If needed, we can also come directly to your farm to provide training and support.

Those coming from out-of-town may choose to stay in a Hillenglade Farm’s on-site suite (15 minutes from downtown Nashville) for the length of their training needs during the Handlers & Leaders Certification Program.

Certification Graduate Testimony

“I can’t thank you enough for such a wonderful experience. It could not have been better. You were all so welcoming and encouraging. The accommodations and your hospitality was amazing. I absolutely loved the horses and learning a whole different aspect of relating to them. You are truly doing the Lord‘s work Jen. I’d love to come back in the springtime and work on more skills. I think I made good progress on finding my voice and confidence!”
