In France, the Eponaquest approach is represented by a group of qualified Eponaquest instructors, certified after training provided in Europe and the United States, and who work within a network where they have supervision. . They are also health professionals (psychologists, doctors), coaching and team-building professionals, and qualified horse riding professionals (BFEE or ATE instructors).

Eponaquest instructors all respect the  Eponaquest Ethics Charter that you can read here . Some instructors have taken additional training, the "POH" qualification. Some have followed an advanced qualification allowing them to teach courses.  The full list of instructors is on the official website of Eponaquest in France .

The horse in its natural environment is a model of non-predatory social behavior in an authentic community: the herd. However, in the current environment of our civilization, in education, in the workplace or by the images conveyed in the media, everything is centered on a principle of competition, where we use the weaknesses of others to profit, and where one uses the destructive weapons of shame, criticism  and blame to demean opponents. The horse, him,  teaches us how to exercise the values of non-predatory wisdom, partnership, living together and community cooperation in a higher vision.

Knowing non-verbal language, knowing how to set limits, being able to instigate a clear direction while keeping one's energy, and staying centered on one's inner compass in the middle of a group, these are learning which becomes absolutely necessary - vital, even - in the chaotic and changing world we inhabit.
