At Believe & See Ranch in Maple Ridge, BC, Equinity—Horse Confidence & Connection Sessions—are designed for adults who want something different from the typical riding lesson.
Somewhere along the way, many of us were told we had to ride horses to experience them. That left those who were nervous to ride—or who didn’t have a horse of their own—without many options to explore equally meaningful ways to connect.
But the real magic? It’s in learning to communicate, trust, guide, care for, play and lead beside them—with both feet planted firmly on the ground
These ground-based experiences draw from the principles of equine-facilitated learning and true partnership. Whether you're horse-curious, returning after time away, or simply seeking a more intuitive connection, you’ll find a welcoming space to explore.
If you've ever felt nervous around horses, curious about how to really understand them, or just wanted a way to experience their power without getting in a saddle—you've just found the hidden door.
And once you step through it, you'll wonder why no one ever showed you this before.

Why Ground-Based Horsemanship Matters
Maybe you already take lessons or trail ride… but never get much time on the ground. Maybe you’re confident in the saddle but wish you felt more sure leading, handling or connecting.
Or maybe you’ve always been curious about liberty or clicker training work but didn’t know where to start.
Equinity gives you the time, space, and support to:
- Explore energy-based leading
- Practice liberty connection
- Build groundwork and horse husbandry skills most casual riders never get to fully develop
You’ll become a better partner on the ground—and in the saddle..

Re-Imagining The Horse-Human Connection
Our Facility
Believe & See Ranch is a unique urban oasis, nestled on 2 acres in Maple Ridge, BC - a short drive from all major bridges.
The land itself is an important part of the equine experience, which is why we've created a space where people and horses can connect in nature. As we are not a lesson barn nor a boarding facility, you can be assured of quiet, personalized experience.
We have several work areas, our full size 80X120 arena, a large working paddock, and several field areas, and the barn itself. Where we work depends on what we are working on and of course the weather.
As the barn is the only area with shelter, the majority of our exercises are done outdoors.

We are in Maple Ridge, BC a short drive from all bridges and are fully licensed and insured. As this is also our private home, for safety reasons and out of consideration for our neighbours, we are "by appointment only", therefore, we don't publish our address. It's provided to confirmed clients only as we are not open to the general public.
We accept Visa and Mastercard, at the link above, please email us if you prefer e-transfer. We do not accept cash or cheques. And all sessions must be paid at time of booking to secure your spot. Please note the legal name of our company for billing purposes is The Prosperous Woman Coaching Company Inc and that is what will show up on your credit card statement
Our spaces are very limited. Once we commit the spot to you, we cannot give it to anyone else. Therefore we have a 24 hour cancellation policy. With the exception of emergencies or extreme weather, sessions not rescheduled at least 24 hours prior are forfeited and no refunds are offered.
As our current herd are all full size horses, for safety reasons we have a minimum age requirement of 15. This may change if we add some smaller horses or ponies to our herd in the future. Please note that any minors that take sessions will be required to wear a helmet.
Please say so! We want you to develop your skills but we also want you to feel safe. Our facilitators will never ask you to do anything they deem unsafe, or beyond your skill level. However only you know your comfort level. So please remember to speak up! Horsemanship is a journey, and no two days are the same. Some days it may even feel like it went backwards and that's OK, it's all part of the process. This is a judgment free zone.
No. We are not a riding facility and do not offer any form of horseback riding to the public, however are happy to make a reccommendation to a riding school if you want to add riding lessons to your journey.. Also most of our horses are not rideable - as they are retired or have medical conditions that prevent them from being ridden, yet they are otherwise perfectly healthy and amazing! My hope with this program and the others that we offer that we are able to raise awareness for how incredible ALL horses are. And that we can have a deep meaningful relationship even if we don't ride.
Absolutely! This is a different way to be around and experience horses. Your confidence in the saddle will only increase!
I created these sessions because I know what it’s like to crave horse time—but not want the pressure of riding or a big coaching breakthrough.. Or what it's like when learning to ride but feeling nervous or like you don't know anything else about this incredible being.
Sometimes, you just want to be with a horse. To learn. To breathe. To reconnect with something real.
Whatever brings you here—whether it’s curiosity, healing, confidence, or joy—you’re welcome.
And I’d be honoured to introduce you to the horses.
