HorsePower® Practitioner

After successfully completing the training and accreditation, you can independently conduct HorsePower® scans with suitable horses of your own, in accordance with the agreed quality and safety conditions. You retain your own practice and approach while adding a clear, recognisable model and a professional reporting process.

For your clients:

• An experiential assessment that makes behaviour, communication, resilience and leadership clearly visible.
• A personal HorsePower® report that helps translate insights into everyday situations and development questions.
• A safe and positive learning experience that focuses not on judgement but on potential for growth.

For you as a HorsePower® Practitioner:

• A distinctive methodology and practical tools for your own horse coaching practice.
• Access to the HorsePower® Academy, working materials and the agreed scan and reporting process.
• Connection with the HorsePower® community, peer learning and methodological support from Horse Act.

The training is led by Ilse Melotte, author of Paardenkracht and Paarden Weten Beter, developer of the HorsePower® model and founder of Horse Act. It is specifically aimed at professional horse coaches experienced in safely guiding people with horses and who have suitable horses and facilities of their own.

The participation fee for the complete three-day HorsePower® Practitioner training is €995 excluding VAT. There are a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 6 participants. All three training days take place in person at Horse Act, Hof van ’t Rommersum, Kruisveldstraat 2, 3440 Zoutleeuw, Belgium.

The training days are scheduled with intervals between them, giving you time to process the insights and prepare assignments. Before taking part, you must have completed a personal HorsePower® scan at Horse Act; during the training, we work with your own report. You can find the scheduled dates in the calendar.

Who is this training intended for?

For professional horse coaches who already have experience guiding people and horses and want to expand their practice with the HorsePower® methodology and scans. You have suitable horses of your own and a safe working environment.

Can I conduct HorsePower® scans myself afterwards?

Yes. After successful accreditation, you can conduct HorsePower® scans with your own suitable horses and in accordance with Horse Act’s quality and safety agreements. The final HorsePower® reports remain the responsibility of Horse Act to safeguard consistency in the methodology.

What do I receive after accreditation?

As a Practitioner, you receive unlimited access to our online portal with videos, downloadable documents, questionnaires, templates and more, as well as all HorsePower® reports for your clients. This means you always have the resources you need to guide journeys professionally. You become part of the HorsePower® community, where you can bring all your questions and reflections.

Are there better commercial terms for Practitioners and their clients?

Absolutely! As a HorsePower® Practitioner, you share in the revenue and receive a commission on sales of HorsePower® products. You are also paid for the sessions you conduct with your own horses. Together, we are building our community, and everyone benefits.

What is the added value compared with traditional assessments?

Traditional assessments often measure skills or cognitive abilities. HorsePower® goes a step further: it reveals how someone actually behaves in the moment—in leadership, collaboration, communication and resilience. The direct and honest mirroring behaviour of horses provides insights that are not merely theoretical but can be felt and applied. As a Practitioner, you translate these insights into your clients’ everyday practice.

Would you like to get to know the HorsePower® model first?

A great idea! Sign up for a live scan yourself and experience it from the inside. Explore and study your own report and take time to reflect on it. We will be happy to explain the approach and even happier to hear your feedback.
