Are you seeking a deeper relationship with your horse? Do you sometimes wish you knew what they were thinking, or how to reach them on a deeper level? 

Join Kim McClelland of Five Star Horsemanship and Sonia Jorgensen of Spirit2Spirit for a 3-day event September 12th-14th, 2025 in Stanwood, WA at the Spirit2Spirit facility to discover your own inner knowing and self-leadership, and how that translates to your relationship with your horse. 

Kim McClelland has lived and breathed horses since early childhood.  Her diverse equine education in Western and English disciplines has given her a broad knowledge of horses and the common elements that tie them together.  The result of her combined studies evolved into an understanding from the horses’ point of view taking into consideration equine behavior, relationship between human and horse, and emotional regulation for both. Using this experience, Kim teaches and trains with the ability to answer the “why” questions, bridging the similarities of different styles and building confidence in both horse and rider in pleasure to performance.   

Sonia Jorgensen is a master’s prepared registered nurse who has had a deep connection to horses since she was very young.  She has a background in executive leadership training and is a Usui Reiki Master, Certified HeartMath Trauma Resiliency Practitioner, Certified Masterson Method Equine Specialist, and has extensive training in earth-based practices such as shamanism, meditation and breathwork. She is a leadership and wellness coach with over 30 years of equine experience.

The combined effect of Kim and Sonia working in tandem to support the horse and the human as partners is a centered and balanced state of calm mutual awareness and clarity. It is from this place where Sonia will help the human partner notice how their energy is impacting the relationship and aid in shifting any tension, apprehension, or “stuck” feelings, and Kim will assist with translating how our presence and actions impact the horse to guide our intentions toward a mutually beneficial goal.

Participants in the Equine Connected Partnership Clinic have the following to say:

“…I am grateful that I got to be a part of this clinic as it really made me think about self-care and how much I may be repressing emotions in my daily life and the horses are a huge part of helping me understand and manage parts of myself and my emotional well-being.”

“I would recommend this to anyone seeking a wellness retreat with horses as it is a truly transformative experience! Not that far north of Seattle Washington, it [is] worth the trip to renew your soul and spirit to spend time here!”

“The girls [Kim and Sonia] I thought worked great together.  As a collaboration they took ‘turns’ with information, also helping each other with how to express thoughts and help each person.”

“Wonderful group of participants and auditors who were supportive and made a safe environment for learning without judgment. Modeled by Sonia and Kim and choice of participants. This is huge for me.”

“I feel they [Kim and Sonia] both respected each other and like that they consulted and collaborated with each other. Good teamwork.”

Schedule of Events:

Friday will be focused on finding your center balance point within through grounding and alignment exercises intended to develop your internal congruence, balance your nervous system, and strengthen your sensitivity to the subtle language of “horse” through herd observation and interaction with the Spirit2Spirit herd.  We will introduce techniques from the HeartMath institute such as the “heart coherence technique”, Masterson Method equine bodywork, and other concepts from various earth-based connection modalities to aid in deepening your relationship with yourself and your horse. 

Saturday and Sunday you and your horse will join Kim and Sonia in the covered arena for the horsemanship portion of the clinic. Kim will aid you in identifying areas of focus between you and your horse from the ground to the saddle. Exercises will be practiced encouraging mutual awareness, an understanding of your horse’s natural behavior, and developing insight from your horse’s point of view. Sonia will aid you in noticing how you are showing up in the space and communicating to the horse through your personal mind/body/spirit connection, and how that is being translated through your partnership with your horse.

Spirit2Spirit, Stanwood, WA (address will be sent in confirmation email after registration as well as other important details)
