“A horse is the greatest companion, the gentlest teacher, and the best therapist.”

Building equine relationships is
a journey like no other.
The idea of combining equestrian activities and philosophies with the treatment of physical and mental health issues dates back centuries. Ancient Greeks wrote about the benefits of horseback riding, calling this practice hippotherapy (from the Greek hippo, meaning horse).
At Millar Equine we specialize in offering meaningful interactions between horses and humans. Our horses enjoy the best possible care and nutrition, and in turn invite us into their lives and social groups. We encourage authentic and genuine experiences, and therefore allow our horses and clients the freedom to choose to work together. Building a relationship with these powerful animals can change the way we see ourselves and the world around us. Our intention is to provide a safe and secure environment for anyone who wishes to experience these magnificent animals and the lessons they have to teach us.
Testimonials
“Millar Equine Learning has given my son who was recently diagnosed with both ADHD and ASD a place where he feels safe, valued and understood both by Brandie and the horses. This is the only activity I’ve ever put him in where he is thoroughly engaged and enjoying himself.”
— Heather M.
“I run a program for youth aged 15-18 in Montreal and had been looking for an affordable, comprehensive and interactive class involving horses. We had such positive feedback from the participants, they loved learning how to care for and interact with the horses. We have booked future sessions and I would give this experience a 10 out of 10! ”
— Milan. K Youth Leadership Specialist, Canadian Wildlife Federation
“While working with the horses, my daughter has gained confidence, communication skills, and patience. She has found new ways to deal with frustration, stress, and change, and feels more empowered. Understanding safety, non-verbal communication with a powerful animal and responsibility is an added bonus!”
