EQUIDEO online training

The Ultimate Program in Equine Psychology and Behavior,

From Leisure to High Performance.

Our program is entirely in French.

The future of riding rests on three fundamental pillars: Science, Awareness, and Performance. It's no longer just about how the horse learns, or whether its physiological needs are met. We want to take you beyond that. What kind of relationship do you want? What expressions do you want to see from your horse? How can you help it relax when it's tense? How can you be seen as someone who provides security, comfort, and a calm conversational presence, especially when all it wants to do is graze or join its friends?

On your computer, tablet, or smartphone via the mobile app, Equideo delivers what the French-speaking equine community has been waiting for for over 30 years: science, behavioral studies, practical case studies, education, problem-solving and understanding, training programs, and more. The platform functions like a social network, allowing members, students and instructors, owners and care professionals to connect and interact. All courses are based on a common foundation: Linda Parelli's Happy Horse program, created in 2021. They are then organized by highly structured themes, making navigation easy and helping you quickly find what you need. The courses are richly illustrated with videos, printable fact sheets, charts, diagrams, audio files, and much more, featuring a wide variety of horses, donkeys, and even mules in action.

What makes a horse truly love what you offer? Whatever your level or discipline, learn how to make your training a truly stimulating and fulfilling conversation for both you and your horse. Your horse will never look at you the same way again!

A training

It took me a long time to find my equestrian philosophy. I knew what I didn't want. I knew I wanted to make my horse a partner, for him to trust me, for the relationship to be mutual and peaceful. The platform is a goldmine of information; I can't even imagine the monumental amount of work it took to create something so comprehensive and high-quality. I'm not about to cancel my subscription!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It's been two years already, and this training has profoundly transformed my relationship with horses, with people, and with myself. I've learned so much thanks to this program, your work, your teaching methods, and your support. I remain deeply grateful.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My horse would buck when I finally managed to mount him, then we'd be stuck in the middle of the arena. I did six months of groundwork before getting back on. I was able to do my first canter in a halter; it was such a wonderful moment.
It's okay not to go up in order to go up so much better!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sarah's work with my young stallion has proven to me that her program works: respecting the horse, both physically and emotionally, by creating a balanced and fair dialogue. Her teaching is a new step in my life as a horsewoman: keen reading, understanding my emotions, and a multitude of strategies to always strive for harmony. It's concrete and effective, and it truly helps us evolve positively in both our skills and our way of being.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you so much for everything you bring to our lives, both with our horses and in general. I'm so delighted with the lessons and everything I'm learning. It feels so good to be able to move forward with our goals now, instead of having to deal with behavioral issues. I'm so proud of my horse, who has improved so much and is calmer while still retaining the little character that makes me love him so much.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A magical place and program where we learn to communicate together in the most beautiful way. The program teaches us understanding and communication with our horses.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I completely endorse this program: I can now get my horse to come to me even when he was playing with his friend. In two years, working with him once or twice a week, sometimes more, sometimes less, our bond has grown strong, and my horse's extreme reactions have completely disappeared, all while preserving his mental well-being and sensitivity. Thank you to the program and thank you, Sarah.
