Hi Madelaine, I’m not sure about more courses with Dr. Susan Fay at Red Horse Center in Michigan, but they are always having wonderful events there. You can connect with @ulla-frederiksen and @fred-bueltmann at Red Horse Center to learn more! There will be an ARCH SEEN Through Horses training there in April 2027 as well! 🙂

This sounds very good ! Are there any more recent courses being offered?

I applied (July 2026) to three companies – Equisure, American Insurance Specialists, and Ark Agency – these are the companies in the USA that I found covering cousneling that utlizes horses. So far Equisure is giving me the best quote but I am still waiting for American Insurance Specialist.
