Equine Body & Behavior Education
Willow’s Way offers thoughtful online classes and resources for horse people who want to better understand behavior, anatomy, posture, tension, movement, and nervous system regulation.
The goal is to help you see your horse more clearly, ask better questions, and make more informed choices that support comfort, connection, and confidence.
Willow’s Way was created because too many horses try to speak up, but as humans, we unintentionally (and sometimes intentionally) shut them down.
Not because we don’t care. Most horse owners and riders are doing the best they can with the information they were given.
But so much of traditional horse culture (including natural horsemanship) teaches us to correct behavior before we understand the horse.
These resources are here to help you slow down, look deeper, and ask better questions about what your horse may be trying to show you.
Because this information is vital to the wellbeing of our domestic horses, and the more we understand, the better we can care for the horses in front of us.
The Why Behind Willow’s Way
How it Works
We create classes for equestrians and horse lovers that focus on equine behavior and the body/anatomy. It’s impossible to separate the body and behavioral symptoms.
Every two weeks, we’ll open enrollment access for two of our classes, one focused on the body and the other on behavior.
We used to offer them all at once, but found it really overwhelming for you guys and hard for us to expand on what each class was about individually.
You’ll have two weeks to enroll before new classes open up. We cannot guarantee when a particular class will come back into the rotation.
Current Open Classes
ENROLLMENT DATES: 6/26 - 8/9
With so many subjects to explore across the body, behavior, and nervous system, Willow’s Way classes open for enrollment for two weeks at a time.
That gives each class the space to stand on its own, while giving you a clear place to begin without sorting through a crowded course library!
Prefer something you can access anytime? Digital guides remain available year-round.
I’m Chelsie Brooks, an equine behavior specialist and certified equine massage therapist with over 30 years of experience in the horse world. At the core of my work is a belief that horses deserve a voice. Every behavior is a form of communication, and when we take the time to listen, we uncover what our horses truly need. My role is to help you understand those signals and guide both horse and rider toward trust, relaxation, and balance. The general goal is always the same…creating space for horses to be heard and for real partnership to grow!
