Presentations, Talks, Telesummits & Podcast interviews:

1) I recently took part in the 'Let's Talk Herd Podcast' with Camille Dareau of Soul Herd Magazine, our conversation covered many issues in this work and why women in particular love horses so much.

2) I was interviewed on the 'Healing With Horses Collective Telesummit' in January 2017 where I talked mainly about my book which had just come out and my approach to this work in general.

3) I was recently interviewed on the Am I Ok Podcast for Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) with Lisa Lewis. I was speaking about my own journey discovering I was Highly Sensitive and how working with horses in this way is SO helpful for HSPs and why! Released on Thursday 31st March 2022.

4) I gave this presentation THE TRUE ROLE OF THE HORSE IN EQUINE FACILITATED LEARNING; PSYCHOTHERAPY & THERAPY at the first EAFPN conference in the UK for equine facilitated practitioners based on my initial research for my book The Horse Leads the Way. I talked about the central, guiding role of the horse in this work as a full partner not a "tool". And how we can and should work to the best of our abilities to ensure this at all times to protect the health, well-being, enjoyment and empowerment of our equine partners.

5) I prepared a presentation for the 2017 'A Horse is a Horse, Of Course' Symposium: The Horse as a Sentient Partner in Equine Facilitated Practice A Practical Approach Which Honours the Horse’s Wellbeing by Angela Dunning. This presentation offers a practical guide for practitioners to ensure they are honouring their equine partners as sentient beings.

6) I gave a talk to the general public in January 2020 in Bishop's Castle, Shropshire on: The Way of The Horse: A Journey to the Self and Beyond... This talk gave an overview of the horse-human bond through the ages; the progression to horses helping people psychologically and emotionally; developing respectful relationships with other species; my approach to equine facilitated practice, and the background to my book, 'The Horse Leads the Way'. 

7) A presentation I provided to Unity College Maine in 2021 as part of their course on Animal Assisted Interventions and Service Animals and the Law: 'A Sentient Partnerships Approach to Equine Facilitated Practice'. 

8) An interview with me was published in September 2015 about why and how horses are good for our Soul in the Italian health and well-being magazine Medwellnes. You can find my interview, in English, about half-way down this page where it says: "Interview with the Eponaquest facilitator Angela Dunning..."
