"The horse shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear." ~ unknown
At Whispering Equine, we believe in the powerful, transformative connection between humans and horses. Rooted in years of clinical research, hands-on experience, and thoughtful observation, our work is centered on supporting individuals in becoming more balanced, connected, and fulfilled in their lives.
Our sessions are designed to create a safe, welcoming space where individuals can grow, heal, and reconnect with themselves. Guided by our equine partners, each experience is tailored to meet the unique needs of every participant. Together, we help individuals discover their strengths, build confidence, and step more fully into their authentic selves.
Whispering Equine proudly incorporates Equine Facilitated Wellness (EFW), following practices accredited by the Professional Association of Equine Facilitated Wellness (Pro-EFW). EFW is an experiential and educational approach that fosters self-discovery through meaningful interactions between humans and horses. Each session is thoughtfully adapted to support personal exploration, emotional awareness, and positive growth.
Horses offer a truly special kind of partnership. Their honest, intuitive, and non-judgmental nature allows people to experience connection in a way that feels safe and genuine. Through these interactions, participants often discover greater trust in themselves, stronger emotional awareness, and renewed confidence that extends into everyday life.
In addition to supporting human wellness, Whispering Equine is deeply committed to the well-being of our equine companions. We offer energy healing and intuitive insight sessions designed to support the physical, emotional, and energetic health of horses, while also strengthening the bond between horse and owner or rider.
Above all, Whispering Equine is dedicated to nurturing deeper connections — within ourselves, with horses, and with the world around us. Our goal is to enhance the quality of life for both humans and horses by fostering understanding, partnership, and mutual trust.
While Whispering Equine has an extensive repertoire of tools and experience to draw on, the ultimate and persisting goal is to enhance the quality of life for both humans and horses by creating a greater connection and understanding between them and within them.

ABOUT CARRIE
Carrie Watson, founder and primary facilitator of Whispering Equine, is a proud Calgarian whose lifelong connection with horses has shaped both her personal and professional journey. Although she was born and raised in the city, Carrie consistently found herself drawn to horses and the unique sense of peace, partnership, and learning they offered.
Over the years, Carrie immersed herself in many areas of the equine world. Her experiences include working at the Fish Creek trail riding stable, participating in mountain trail riding and packing, and being an active member of Pony Club, where she focused on jumping and cross-country riding. She has also worked as a horse day camp instructor and volunteered with therapeutic riding programs. Along her journey, Carrie developed a deep interest in natural horsemanship and eventually pursued formal training in equine facilitated wellness. It was through navigating challenges in her own life that Carrie truly recognized the powerful support, healing, and personal growth horses provided her.
Carrie earned both a Bachelor of Kinesiology and a Bachelor of Education, which led her to begin her career as a high school teacher and volleyball coach. During this time, she discovered a strong passion for supporting youth as they worked toward their goals, both in athletics and in life. As a teacher, coach, and mentor, Carrie built trusting relationships with her students, often witnessing them open up and discover new strengths and perspectives, especially during team and class trips. Observing the profound personal growth that occurred in these environments — combined with her own transformative experiences with horses — inspired Carrie to follow her heart. She made the courageous decision to step away from her teaching career and pursue her vision of creating an equine facilitated wellness practice.
Carrie completed her extensive training and certification through the Professional Association of Equine Facilitated Wellness (Pro-EFW), where she is dually certified as both an Equine Facilitated Learning Professional and an Equine Professional. She is also honored to serve as a Pro-EFW Mentor, supporting certification candidates as they navigate their own professional and personal development within this meaningful field.
Since 2010, Carrie has continued to deepen and integrate her naturally intuitive and healing abilities into her work with both human and equine clients. She has found that her time spent in partnership with horses has strengthened these skills organically. Carrie incorporates modalities such as animal communication, mediumship, intuitive insight, hands-on and distance energy healing, certified clinical hypnosis, and 3-D Healing. These approaches can be integrated into Equine Facilitated Wellness sessions or offered independently, depending on individual needs.
Carrie is also a Usui Reiki Master and is passionate about sharing this sacred practice with others. She offers Reiki training for individuals who wish to learn the practice for personal use or to support their horses and animals.
