About Myself
I've been dedicated to lifelong learning and helping others to connect with their horses naturally. Born with horses running in my heart, I have brought my dream to Canada to share this love, passion and knowledge about horses. With strong values and a safe learning space for everyone, I aim to help grow your love of horses and to expand my qualifications every chance I can.

Rescues
The Heart of Horsemanship is dedicated to helping horses in need. We mainly focus on ponies but are willing to take in anyone who may need a helping hoof. Severely emaciated, feral, behavioural issues, etc.- everyone is welcome here! Upon arrival, everyone receives a detailed intake exam so we can set them up with a well-personalized rehab plan.
ABOUT THE HEART OF HORSEMANSHIP
The Heart of Horsemanship is owned and operated by Floriane Vermeire. She started in 2016 in Belgium. Floriane was able to help different people to connect with their horses. Her wonderful horse named Chester helped different kids grow into learning about Horsemanship and showed people how wonderful this can be.
In 2017, The Heart of Horsemanship moved to Canada. Floriane was able to rescue a horse that had never been handled by humans. Today, Shadow is helping a variety of kids. Together, they love to share their adventures and help make their dreams come true.
The Heart of Horsemanship is based on the following principles:
1. True balance in your herd
2. A motivated and engaged horse
3. Trust, Respect, and Safety
4. Calm connection
"My 2 years old strugles with attachment issues. During his first lesson, he was very shut down and wanted me to stay right by his side. Less than 10 minutes into the session, he asked me to go to my car and leave him alone. I'm forever grateful for the steps Floriane has taken in helping him feel so safe. Her calm energy, soft hand, and possitive attitude sure was a go getter for my son." Tessa
"I am completely new to horses. I have been taking lessons with Floriane and she has been an abundance of knowledge and a great resource. She is kind and patient with both the horses and people, she is an absolute gem. It is heartwarming to have my horses do what I ask of them while feeling connected and not use force. Her gentle but persistent approach really works! I highly recommend Floriane!" -Sandy
"If you are looking for a place to take your kids for riding lessons, look no further. Floriane goes above and beyond just teaching kids about riding, she teaches confidence. All of her ponies are rescues and extremely well-trained. We absolutely love everything Floriane has done for our daughter, and will be going back for lessons for a very long time. - Kelly
