Welcome to our 501c(3) registered non-profit.
Center for Equine Awareness
Throughout history, horses have captured our imaginations, galloped through our dreams, and stunned us with their beauty, wisdom, and grace. The Center for Equine Awareness (CEA) offers education, experiential learning, and self-exploration to a community of people who truly love and respect the horse. Through awareness and mindfulness of our beliefs, motivations and perceptions, we approach all our equine pursuits through authentic communication, empathy, and compassion.
Equine enthusiasts of all levels and disciplines learn a holistic approach to keep their equine companions healthy, happy, and fit — body, mind, heart, and soul. In return, our members experience the unbridled joy that comes from having soul-to-soul relationships with horses who choose to be connected and willing partners.
Our Mission
To further enrich the well-being of horses and humans by expanding consciousness and compassion.
Our Vision
The vision of the Center for Equine Awareness (CEA) is to bring together an ever-expanding community of compassionate people to broaden knowledge, improve skills, and enhance the human/equine experience, recognizing that all beings deserve joy, love, knowledge, understanding, and respect.
The CEA community comes from all walks of life and all equine-related endeavors. We acknowledge the sentience of humans and equines and recognize and honor the deep bond possible with our horses.
CEA is dedicated to expanding the circle of human/horse consciousness, connection, and communication that leads to a greater human/horse harmony.
Transformation Through Knowledge and Self Exploration
Whether you’re new to horses or an accomplished equestrian, there’s always more to learn. Our suite of classes, clinics, and retreats help you explore new perspectives while engaging with your horse (or ours) on a deeper level. Our learning programs expand your knowledge of everything from equine learning and behavior, equine and rider biomechanics, and classical riding principles to self-realization, meditation, and body awareness practices. We work together to create the best version of ourselves so we can be our best selves for our horses and for all beings.
Saving one horse at a time
With the support of our members and like-minded community, CEA is committed to saving troubled and rescued horses from slaughter, abuse and neglect. Our rehabilitation and retraining methods are based on restoring their trust in humankind and performance ability. Through traditional/classical training systems and the use of healing modailites such as massage and structural integration we are able to reform troubled and poorly trained horses into safe and well adjusted companion and performance horses. When ready for rehoming, our horses are adopted out to qualified homes.
We’re In This Together
CEA is a unique member-based community that is exploring the path to greater connection with our horses through building awareness and mindfulness. Members share time and space with like-minded friends through classes and horse activities. The center’s program inspires riders to improve their horsemanship through closer partnerships with their horses and empowers individuals to access their inner strength to be able to connect with horses in a gentle way. Our safe environment allows members to be themselves and encourages all to honor and listen to others.
Your membership fees entitle you to far more than monetary savings. You’ll get exclusive educational and social opportunities and an inclusive community of like-minded equine enthusiasts who are curious, fun, supportive, and dedicated to lifelong learning.
Let’s come together to share our passions for all-things-horses.
