Answers to Common Questions

Where are FEAL sessions held?

Frontier Equine Assisted Leadership sessions are held in two BC locations:

  • Northeast BC: At Rock Alder Ranch, located in Charlie Lake, BC. At Mile 52 on the Alaska Highway, were just 7 minutes northwest of Fort St. John (Mile 47) or about 45 minutes northwest of Dawson Creek.

  • Vancouver Island: We also host sessions across Central Vancouver Island, at various partner facilities ranging from Victoria and north to Campbell River.

Can you host a session at my location?

Maybe! It would depend on knowing some specifics, so if you are interested in having HorsePower, please reach out to us through this website and explain your needs. We'll get back to you and see how we can help.

What is HorsePower’s cancellation policy?
  • Individual and couples coaching: Cancel at least 24 hours before your scheduled session: full refund (including deposit) or free reschedule. Cancel within 24 hours of the session: non‑refundable (rescheduling may be allowed at our discretion).

  • Corporate, groups, and students: Cancel more than 7 days before the session: the 20% booking deposit is refundable. Cancel within 7 days of the session: all deposits and payments are forfeited.

  • If we cancel: If HorsePower cancels for weather, safety, or other operational reasons you will be offered a complimentary reschedule. Refunds will not normally be issued in these cases except at our discretion.

What payment types do you accept?

We accept e‑transfer and cash; debit and credit may be available soon!

Do I have to pay a deposit?
  • Individual and couples sessions:

    • A 20% deposit is requested at time of booking. This deposit is refundable if you cancel at least 24 hours before your scheduled session.

  • Corporate, small group, and student groups:

    • 20% is due at booking to hold the date.

    • 50% of the remaining balance is due 7 days before your event.

    • If you cancel more than 7 days before the session, the 20% booking deposit is refunded.

    • Cancellations within 7 days of the event will forfeit all deposits and payments.

  • We reserve the right to modify deposit and cancellation terms depending on the specifics of a booking (size, travel, special requirements). If you have concerns about the policy or need a different arrangement, please contact us.

How are FEAL sessions structured?

The exact structure depends on the type of program—for example, individual, group, or school—but here's a general overview of how a session at HorsePower unfolds:

  • Meet & greet: Arrival, safety overview and set intentions so we know what matters most to you.

  • Intro: Gentle introduction to the horse and the space; you set the pace.

  • Action: Ground‑based activity (no riding) tailored to your goals. This may be leading, boundary work, obstacle navigation, or practising calm under pressure. You get real‑time feedback from the horse and facilitator.

  • Debrief: Review what happened, how your actions landed, and facilitator coaching.

  • Reflection: Guided conversation and optional written reflection; choose an “achievement word” that captures your key insight.

  • See‑yas!: Translate insights into practical next steps and optional light home practices; close and say goodbye.

What training do facilitators have?

Along with a lifetime spent on the ranch in the Frontier of BC, HorsePower’s Equine Assisted Learning facilitator is certified through Equine Connection’s rigorous EAL program. Equine Connection provides an internationally recognized and science-backed program, with both comprehensive coursework and practical requirements. Your facilitator is trained in the science behind equine-assisted learning, horse welfare and herd behaviour, structured, research-based exercises, client assessment and safety protocols, and clear ethical boundaries. You’ll get focused, consistent coaching from an experienced professional who knows both the herd and the lifestyle.
