Nature-based, Equine Facilitated, Animal Assisted Experiential Learning & Wellness
About Us
Evermore Pastures is renowned for creating healing experiences and fostering deep connections between people and horses, offering a sanctuary where both humans and horses can expand their capacity for aliveness. Equine assisted learning and wellness is a heart-centered approach that nurtures profound and transformative insights. This unique process invites horses to be active, willing partners, guiding individuals to unlock their potential, heal, and grow. Through their intuitive wisdom, horses help you connect with a language older than words that brings emotional and intuitive clarity.
At Evermore Pastures, we honour and respect the autonomy of our horses, ensuring they are fully engaged in the process—because genuine healing is a shared journey between horse and human. Our approach centres on presence and embodiment—connecting with oneself by shifting from the thinking mind to the heart space, where self-love and acceptance naturally unfold. Through the integration of personal development, mindfulness, and horsemanship, horses help individuals reconnect with themselves in the present moment. With the right guidance and the powerful presence of horses, we are able to access the truth that already exists within us. In this truth lies our liberation—our being, our essence, which is pristine, peaceful, aware, and whole. It is a part of us that can never be damaged or broken, and through this process, we are empowered to embrace lasting positive change, deepening our self-awareness and strengthening our connection with the world around us.
At Evermore Pastures, we provide a sanctuary for this journey, empowering individuals to tap into the often overlooked realm of nonverbal communication. This experiential learning opportunity is an exercise in stillness and presence, allowing you to attune and align with your authentic self, and we are dedicated to supporting you on this path, evermore.
No previous horse experience is required as everything happens on the ground at a distance you’re comfortable with, even if it’s on the other side of the fence.
We currently offer:
Real life skills. Real connection. Horse-powered learning
Release, rebalance, reconnect – with the support of horses and hands-on healing.
Why choose us?
At Evermore Pastures, our work is guided by high standards of professionalism, ethics, equine welfare, and relational practice.
Heather is becoming a Certified Professional Member of the Professional Association for Equine Facilitated Wellness (Pro-EFW), a Canadian organization dedicated to ethical standards, professional competence, and the respectful treatment of equines as sentient beings and partners in the work.
Certification through Pro-EFW involves several years of education, mentorship, supervised practical experience, evaluation, and ongoing professional development. This training emphasizes safety, ethical practice, responsible care, trauma-informed approaches, and a deep understanding of equine behaviour and well-being.
In addition, Heather is completing a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, bringing together equine facilitated practice with advanced education in mental health, human development, ethics, and relational care.
At Evermore Pastures, both human and equine well-being are carefully considered in every session. Our approach is grounded in respect, consent, emotional safety, and meaningful connection, creating an environment that is both professionally supported and deeply relational.
Why horses?
Horses are exceptional partners on this journey because they remain grounded in the present moment, relying on their intuition as prey animals to navigate their surroundings. This heightened intuition allows them to sense and respond to your inner state, reading your energy and emotions with remarkable clarity. With their unconditional love and acceptance, horses provide a non-judgmental space where individuals can shed the masks they wear and connect with their true selves. They never judge, degrade, or expect you to be anything other than your authentic self, seeing beyond the surface to the essence of who you truly are.
Horses have a unique ability to sense when we’re out of balance—disconnected from our heart space and too focused on our logical mind. They reflect our internal state, making it clear when we’re not in tune with our emotions. True healing comes from reconnecting with the heart, which is why horses are recognized for their powerful role in emotional healing and transformation. By partnering with them and tapping into their intuitive wisdom, we open ourselves to making meaningful changes in the moment. This deep connection brings clarity, understanding, compassion, self-love, and trust, guiding us back to our authentic selves.
Who can benefit?
This work is for those drawn to the healing power of nature-based, animal-assisted alternatives to conventional methods of learning and wellness. Whether you’re navigating personal challenges like grief, depression, family relationships, parenting, stress, anxiety, emotional or behavioural dysregulation, or living with special needs or developmental disabilities, this journey provides a transformative experience. Supported by the intuitive presence of nature and animals, it helps you take meaningful steps forward, reconnect with yourself, and find your way.
The lessons from our program transcend your time with the horses. They continue to shape how you connect with your family, friends, teammates, or coworkers long after you leave. This work fosters deep, lasting change that stays with you, evermore.
Testimonials
Evermore Pastures is a magical place. When I went for my session with Heather and her horses Frankie and Fiona I felt a sense of stillness and welcome as soon as I got out of my car. Heather is intuitive and receptive as she guides me through the process. As a person suffering with long term PTSD, this is the most effective therapy I have encountered. We sat in the paddock with both horses and I could feel the energy just pulsing out of them. Frankie spent most of the session near me so I had to stay present and in the moment. I found that having the horses there connected my brain and my heart in a way no other treatment has done. I will be returning many more times. Thank you Heather.

Working with Heather and her horses Fiona and Frankie have sparked a new passion for me. I have always wanted to work more in depth therapeutically with horses but was a little unsure or scared. The warm, welcoming, kindness and presence I have felt from Heather at Evermore Pastures in this process has made this dream a beautiful reality. Heather’s gentle yet clear leadership qualities, knowledge and attunement have allowed me to feel safe enough to create a very special relationship with her horses and to learn some fundamental lessons around listening, respect, boundaries and leadership. These lessons have had a positive effect on my self-esteem and my personal relationships. Each time I leave a session I feel much more cheerful and radiant -my nervous system feels more balanced and regulated – even if I began the sessions feeling sad or stressed. Equine assisted learning with Heather and her horses have become a very important resource for me. The feeling of love and acceptance I feel from the horses stays with me throughout my whole week, such a blessing. Thank you so much!
-Anonymous
Our PDA autistic daughter attended Evermore Pastures for six weeks and it has been a truly transformative experience. From the very first visit, we noticed a calming shift in her. The opportunity to engage with the horses was incredibly regulating for her, and she looked forward to every session with genuine excitement.
Even on days when it was difficult to access going, just the sight of the horses brought a visible change in her body — her whole demeanour softened. Heather created such a safe, neuro-affirming environment, and her gentle, understanding approach made all the difference.
We’re so grateful for the care and connection our daughter experienced at Evermore. Highly recommend to any family seeking a supportive and therapeutic space for their neurodivergent child.
-Heidi Routley
Thank you Heather and Kaili for the amazing Equine Craniosacral Therapy experience. Words cannot describe the profound shift that occurred on so many levels. A true testament to the miracles that unfold when one is present in the presence of horses. The horses are so intuitive and are such great teachers in the art of letting go of expectations, and setting boundaries. I have learned to completely trust these magnificent creatures. Feeling the horses breath and gentle nibbles on my face while being witnessed and held was so precious. Even now a week later I am still experiencing profound insights and have a felt sense of the horses’ presence. I cannot thank you both enough for the gift you have given me.
-Audrey-May Colwell
My daughter (7 yo) had her first session with Heather and her beautiful herd today. Heather is so calm, her animals so peaceful and loving, they are good with kids, and even my daughter (who is never comfortable with any other grownups aside her parents and closest friends) was extremely comfortable since the first minute with her. We will be back for sure for regular appointments. I could see my girl so calm and content after it, after a very rough morning. Thank you Heather and your furry friends.
-Uxia Alonso
Craniosacral therapy and the presence of horses is a combo I had never imagined, and I am so glad that someone else did. The subtle, communicative touch of Kaili’s hands instantly invited me into a state of peace and presence that usually takes me much longer to drop into on my own. The gentle and yet immensely powerful presence I felt from the horses was awe-inspiring. Normally, my eyes would stay closed in a cranio session, but I kept feeling called to open them to gaze into the deep, soulful eyes of Frankie, the horse. I felt that everyone there — Kaili, Heather, the horses, the donkey, and the dog alike — was interested in my most optimal well-being. At the same time, it was as if I were being ushered into the most beautiful death, and I remember remarking internally that I would love to die this way. I didn’t want it to end; I could have easily stayed there for several hours.
-Michael
Heather, I just wanted to let you know how powerful that was for me. I learned so much about myself, but most of all I feel such a powerful, beautiful energetic connection to Frankie. I am just blown away by the power of this connection. Such a wise creature who teaches and connects by simply BEING. Thank you for the opportunity to BE with the horses.

“Horses speak through body language and silent signals.
It’s an energetic frequency that touches us in our knowingness
to move, release, breathe deep, shift, grow, exhale,
and relax into the safety of who we are.”
