Meet Your Coach

I'm Really Glad You're Here!

Hey! It's really amazing that you're looking at Frontier Equine Assisted Leadership.

I'm Shawna-Marie, a certified Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) facilitator and leadership coach at HorsePower. I am also a qualified teacher with decades of school teaching under my belt.

Today, I run HorsePower FEAL, a series of equine-assisted personal development programs that encourage a "Be a Weed" attitude in people. A weed is a plant that has mastered every survival skill except growing in neat rows. In other words, Being a Weed is about thriving. No. Matter. What.

Want to learn how to be a weed? Check out our programs and let’s plan your first FEAL session!

“Just changing your attitude can affect the whole world around you.”

Step Outside the Box and Grow for Real

Fear keeps us in the box—horses help us step out.

At HorsePower, stepping “outside the box” means stepping past fear-based habits, trying practical experiments with a horse partner, and growing your leadership through clear communication, honest feedback, and calm action.

Our ground-based sessions make change practical: you try, the horse responds, we reflect together. Our horses keep you honest, our facilitators keep you safe. YOU choose the size of the step. YOU leave with actions you can use the same day.

Feel the fear. Try it anyway!

4 Legs, Solid Ground

HorsePower: FEAL It!

Every successful FEAL session stands on four sturdy legs.

A Frontier setting that encourages reflection and growth; your remarkable Equine partner; your coach and Assistant; and a Leadership focus that guides the entire experience.

Frontier

While many EAL programs stay within the riding ring, we believe real growth happens outside those physical boundaries. HorsePower’s FEAL sessions unfold in open, natural spaces. We feel this gives you room to notice more, connect more deeply, and discover your inner confidence.

Equine

Our horses are honest, intuitive teachers. They respond in real time to your actions and emotions, offering clear, judgment-free feedback. Your equine partner helps you to notice what’s working, try something new, and experience genuine breakthroughs.

Assisted

Certified teacher and natural coach Shawna-Marie brings warmth, humour, and years of experience to every FEAL session. She’s led everything from school credit programmes to group workshops, all with the belief that everyone deserves to be their best selves.

Leadership

Leadership is our focus, and our programs are designed to turn insight into action. With real‑time feedback from the horse, your facilitator helps you translate what works in the pen into everyday leadership, whether you’re guiding a team, a project, or your family.
