Learn to read
what the horses
are telling you.

A twelve-week certification for the people who already feel it, and want to hold that space for someone else doing this work. Taught by a healer at heart: a pharmacist, and fifty-five years alongside horses.

Cohort One begins Friday, November 6 · 12 students

Start here

Two ways to begin.

Some people come to be met by the horses. Some come to learn how to stand there for someone else.

Learn to hold the space

Twelve weeks. One cohort. One start date. You learn to read what the horse is saying, and to stand steady while someone else hears it for the first time. Certification at the end.

The certification

Come and be met

A day or a season on a hundred acres. Some people come because something ended. Some come because nothing did and they still feel lost. You will not be asked to explain it.

Dr. Kimberly Ammerman

Healer at heart.
Pharmacist.
Horsewoman.

She was a pharmacist first. Chemistry, dosing, evidence. The whole discipline of it. Behind that sits fifty-five years of lived experience riding, breaking, and learning alongside horses, since she was a girl in south central South Dakota, breaking and training her own.

“Misty matched my speed and would not stop. Starfellow matched Kelly’s calm. So we traded horses, and each one changed to meet the rider in front of it.”

That is the whole method in one story. The horse reads what you are actually carrying, not what you say you are carrying. Kim teaches people to read what the horse is telling them, and to hold the space while someone else does the same.

In their words

“The solace I felt with the horses was in not having to speak to feel heard and understood.”

“I remember a warmth returning to my heart that I had not felt in a long time. I learned more about relationships from this experience than any other. I’ve found a renewed strength inside of myself. My vibrance has been reestablished.”

Healing Hearts with Horses offers equine-assisted coaching and personal development. Kim supports people through change, loss, overwhelm and the questions that come with them, on the ground, alongside the horses. She is a coach, not a licensed mental-health or medical provider, and this work does not replace care from one.
