Meet Sabine
From her earliest memories, Sabine has been enchanted by horses—their presence, power, and quiet wisdom.
Though Sabine holds a degree in Human Nutrition and built a thriving career in the pharmaceutical industry—all while raising two wonderful children with her loving husband—something was missing. A deeper calling whispered beneath the surface, waiting to be heard.
Then came Riley.
A striking Grullo gelding on an equine rescue website stirred something deep within her. It was more than a feeling—it echoed in her dreams. Riley wasn’t just a horse; he was a guide. Their journey began with natural horsemanship but quickly deepened into something much more profound. Through Riley’s silent teachings and countless humbling lessons, Sabine discovered a path that weaves together human growth and horse wisdom. Riley invited her to listen, trust, and transform.
With his wisdom—and her intuition—Sabine followed the call, pursued her certification in Equine Assisted Learning, and founded Whispering Willow EAL, hosted at Evergreen Equine Wellness in Cedar Valley, Stouffville, Ontario
Now a certified FEEL (Facilitated Equine Experiential Learning) practitioner, and member of the FEEL Alumni, she channels that lifelong connection into helping others to heal and grow through meaningful partnership with horses.
At Whispering Willow, Sabine offers more than sessions—she offers space. A sacred and safe space where horse and human meet in truth, mutual respect, and heart-led transformation.
If you feel the pull, a whisper, or even a flicker of curiosity—follow it. Take the leap. You won’t look back.
The FEEL Approach
FEEL (Facilitated Equine Experiential Learning)® is a unique collaboration between horses and humans. The horse is the teacher and plays a leading role in guiding transformational journeys of healing, personal growth and spiritual connection.
At the heart of the FEEL approach are structured experiential interactions with the horses. These interactions help us reconnect with our potential for living an authentic life.
