What we offer:
Empowerment for the rider
We provide a range of recources, guidance and expert advice to help riders overcome their trust issues and fearbased obstacles. Maxine is a experienced professional and understands the nuances of human emotions and equine behaviour, ensuring a tailored approach to your individual needs.
Empowerment for the horse
Horses with trauma and behavioral issues require special attention and expertise. Our approach combines proven techniques and a decent theoretical background aimed at restoring confidence, providing structure and nurturing positive behaviour.
Empowering nutrition
Proper feeding is the foundation of your horseās health and performance. A horseās digestive system is naturally built for continuous grazing on fiber-rich forage. When the diet does not match this natural design, the risk of colic, laminitis, ulcers, obesity, and behavioral issues increases. At Equine Empowerment, we provide healthy, grain-free horse feed from trusted brands like Metazoa and Vitalbix to help your horse thrive.
Our mission
At Equine Empowerment we are dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space where riders and horses alike can start building towards mutual understanding and trust. Our mission is to bridge the gap between human and horse, fostering a partnership built on empathy, respect and shared experiences.

Maxine Wancket
I am Maxine Wancket, behavioral specialist for horses and a believer in the power of trust, respect and communication.
My journey into the world of equine behavior has been guided by personal experience, empathy, and an unwavering dedication to the well-being of both horses and riders.
Like many of you, I've faced the challenges that come with trust issues, both in and out of the saddle. It's from this very personal place that I draw my strength and passion to help others overcome these obstacles.

Diverse Influences and Perspectives
Maybe you have already tried some methods (like Parelli, TRT method, ā¦) but in the long run they didnāt work. No surprise there since there's no one-size-fits-all method in horsemanship.
Each horse boasts a unique history, capacity to learn, and motivation. This realization led me to delve into all the equestrian philosophies I could find, as the approach must always be tailored to the individual horse.
Some of the techniques I have studied and integrate into my work:
MSFC saddle fitting
Equine Osteopathy (Vluggen Institute)
Educational graduate in agricultural techniques (Howest)
Centered Riding Instructor Level II
Fit & safe - for horse riders (Adelinde Cornelissen)
TTeam/TTouch voor paarden (Linda Tellington Jones)
Body Awareness (Lucie Klaassen)
Horsemanship course Victor-y-horses (Perrine Coolsaet)
Working and Riding with Spanish Horses (Syntra)
Masterclass Pat Parelli
Rider coach (Monya Spijkhoven)
50YTT Aerial Yoga (ULU Yoga Bali)
