Alexa Linton is a life-long horse lover, Equine Sport Therapist of 20 years, host of the Whole Horse Podcast, now in it’s 8th season, facilitator, author, and creator of the Whole Horse Apprenticeship, a 6 month equine wellness immersion program, the Whole Horse Collective Online Community, and most recently, Outside the Box Equine, an educational hub for species-specific horse keeping. Her vision is to support a change worldwide in horse keeping practices towards more species-specific care, ethically informed training and riding, and a more collaborative approach to being with and sharing our lives with horses.

She lives with her partner, Patrick, her four horses, two dogs, and a cat on a 5-acre property in the Cowichan Valley, where she has built an ever-evolving paddock paradise track system for her herd, Diva, Raven, Reykur, and Gwynna. Her relationship with her mare Diva is going on 23 years, and has been one of the most important of her life. Her vision is to build a horse-keeping demonstration site implementing species-specific elements that work for the Pacific Northwest, to inspire horse owners and equine practitioners in skill-building workshops and immersive retreats to shift their horse spaces by showing what is possible.

Because of the Horse...

My life is full of life and joy, and purpose.
