Achieve Your Greatness

This is the EEC (Equine Experiential Connection) Program. A heart-centred, world-class initiative, right here in Hillsburgh, Ontario.

Co-Founded by Retired World Champion jockey Eurico Rosa da Silva and operating in partnership with the elite retired racehorses of LongRun Thoroughbred Retirement Society, the EEC Program is one of a kind.

“Quiet moments of courage, vulnerability, and connection — the kind that only a horse can awaken.”

WHAT IS THE EEC PROGRAM?

The Equine Experiential Connection (EEC) Program is an elite equine-assisted learning program led by Advanced FEEL® Facilitators (Facilitated Equine Experiential Learning) that pairs world-class performance coaching and unique partnership with retired thoroughbred racehorses. Designed for profound personal and professional transformation, EEC assists individuals and groups with building clarity, emotional mastery, and authentic confidence through direct, ground-based engagement with horses.
