Brianna Ferguson
Media Manager & Virtual Instructor, CEBP
Brianna’s journey with horses started at a young age, taking lessons at a local hunter jumper barn, where she fell in love with all of the school horses, especially those that were given negative labels and misunderstood. Each and every horse she loved pushed her further into a space of alternative methods & advocacy for the horse.
She began studying equine behaviour and ethology after bringing home her first horse, a then feral haflinger stallion. Positive reinforcement based training techniques allowed them to build safe handling skills and a dialogue based on trust and two-way communication. As she continued to learn more about the science of behaviour, she came to the realization that no matter how much time we spend training, progress is determined by how the horse is feeling in their physical body. She began searching for a bodywork technique that aligned with her ideals of what interactions with horses should look like - consent based, minimally invasive, gentle, and positive. That's when she found Equi-Bow.
As a positive horsemanship coach and Equi-Bow practitioner, she aims to help horses and their caregivers build healthy relationships built on trust and connection, synergistically combining behaviour, enrichment, and training with equine bodywork.
