Equine Notion

Why Equine Notion Is Unlike Anything Else

Most equine programs teach people how to work with horses. Equine Notion teaches something far deeper: how to stop controlling—and in doing so, to rediscover the natural order beneath all interaction. We do not ride. We do not train. We do not reward or correct. Our horses live in full freedom; from that living field of harmony, a new way of perception is revealed.

A Herd That Was Never Trained

Many assume “untrained” means “old, calm, already safe.” Our herd is the opposite. Most arrived as foals or in the earliest stage of riding training—some were just eight months old.
Among our herd, the horses we welcomed as foals have never been broken, trained, or conditioned to obey. Those that arrived at the very first stage of riding training were transitioned into a non-control life from the moment they joined us. All of them live in full freedom among humans, discovering safety through awareness rather than control. What conventional horsemanship achieves through repetition and dominance, we achieve through presence and resonance.

What we share here is not theory—it is lived experience. Our herd proves that true harmony requires no control, only awareness. Would you like to learn how to create the same sacred bond with your horses? Begin where control ends.

We do not ride, train, or control. We study a free-roaming herd and translate pure observation into daily life through a clear philosophical framework.

What We Offer

Equine Notion is a philosophy-based practice rooted in non-control, non-training, and non-riding. Horses live as a free herd (24/7 turnout, stables are not used). We observe, listen, and learn from the natural order — and we teach you how to implement this awareness in real life.

Who it’s for: Horse owners and caretakers seeking a deeper, non-training-based connection with their horses, focusing on coexistence rather than control.

Team: All services are delivered by a two-person teamNobuyuki Nonaka & Tetiana V. Nonaka — to preserve depth, precision, and safety.

This is a premium, application-only offering for a limited number of participants who truly seek this path. Payments are via bank transfer (full prepayment). No instalments.

3) On-site Visit — We come to your pasture

Price examples (excl. VAT): Half-day (3h) €1,200 · Full-day (6h) €2,000 Over 6 hours: €350 per additional hour Travel expenses at cost; accommodation if required

  • Purpose: Observe your interaction with horses and the everyday horse care routines at your location, providing guidance to improve mutual understanding and relationship quality.
  • Approach: Because horses may become tense when a third party demonstrates, we do not handle or perform with your horses. Instead, we observe your daily interactions and give precise advice on how to adjust presence, distance, timing, and communication.
  • What happens: During normal tasks—feeding, moving, grooming, or gate transitions—we identify behavior patterns and subtle signals that reveal how horses perceive human actions. We then offer step-by-step suggestions for clearer, calmer communication.
  • Outcomes: Typical improvements may include reduced tension, smoother cooperation, clearer responses, and a more natural daily rhythm for both horse and human; actual results vary by horse, environment, and owner practice, and are not guaranteed.
  • After-session notes: A concise follow-up note summarizing key observations and suggested practices may be provided (upon request or where helpful).
  • Travel radius: Confirmed case-by-case (EU)
  • Safety & welfare: Horses remain at liberty; no riding, no training, no boarding, and no equipment-based handling.
  • Guides: Nobuyuki Nonaka & Tetiana V. Nonaka (two-person team)
