OK Corral Trainer Moves Her Herd to VA!

Dr. Burch in Virginia!

Many OK Corral professionals have had incredible training experiences with Dr. Heide Burch, PhD. She consistently receives top ratings for her seminar facilitation, and her education and experience in equine-assisted psychotherapy is virtually unrivaled.
Recently, Dr. Burch relocated from New York to Virginia, where she bought her beautiful new facility, Hazel Hollow Stables. Located in Dublin, Virginia in the western part of the state, Dr. Burch and her herd are just a stone’s throw from Roanoke. The expansive property features indoor and outdoor arenas for all-weather comfort.

“I have always credited you as the creator and creative genius behind EAGALA and EAP. I have always said that to others as well as you that no one is as good as you at EAP. You are the founder.”

Lynn Thomas, Former Executive Director, EAGALA

“As an Equine Specialist, spending three days under the tutelage of Greg Kersten was exhilerating. Greg’s skills in EAP as a communicator, teacher and practitioner are adept, astute and comprehensive. His congenial accessibility allowed for humor and information to be free flowing and fortified the learning experience.”

Wayne B., Healing Through Horses

“This has been the opportunity of a lifetime. This has helped me grow as an individual, already. I can’t wait to see where this is going to take my family, horses, and our farm! Thank you so much!”

Kelly G., Hartford, KY

“I am here to tell you that I could not have been more impressed than I was with the OK Corral Series you presented those 3 miserably hot days in Pierre, SD. I would not have believed it if I had not attended myself. Your insight about horse behavior was not new to me, but your perspectives about how observing human/horse interactions could be so therapeutic was indeed an epiphany. Not too many of those come along in a lifetime . . .plenty of hindsight but epiphanies are rare. Your perspectives of what people show you and tell you and have the potential to learn through human/horse interactions was so refreshing . . . an understatement at best.”

Peg M., Evansville, WY

“I had a profoundly life changing experience in Reno last spring. Learned so much that makes such a difference in my life and horse business. Still incorporating all I learned. A must do for your Bucket List!”

Elizabeth A., Florida

“Greg has proven his determination, professionalism, and leadership abilities in the development of the field of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP). I am proud to have been involved in Greg’s vision from the early days of founding EAP.”

Lewis Feild, 3-Time All-Around Champion Cowboy & ProRodeo Hall of Famer

“Thanks for the wonderful time and experience at the Belton, TX event. It was informative, exhilarating-I still want to be in TX- and I’m so glad I didn’t pursue EAGALA. Your simplicity and directness as well as your amazing experience and “cowboyness” that always shines though, makes your program superior. It was so worth the time and money!!!”

Nancy B., Colorado Springs, CO

“This training was like going to the source, my other training was just a want-a-be effort not the real deal.”

Paula B.

“Excellent metaphors to the corporate world! Fabulous learnings and references to team building that we can share in the workplace.”

Microsoft Licensing, Corporate Workshop Participant

“Greg’s seminars are almost an untraining, they really open you up to live the experience the way your client would. You aren’t saddled with a 300 page manual of stirrup specifics, do not’s, and “you can only do this if you are a gold level instructor”. He didn’t teach us rules and regulations, he encouraged us to use our own beautiful brains, life experiences, and knowledge of horses and take what we learned and make it our own.”

Colleen C., Borrowed Freedom

“This was a life-defining experience, personally and career-wise. Thank you, Greg, for being the frontrunner full of super stories and deep knowledge.”

Crossroads Corral Seminar Participant, Florida

“I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful training you gave in Glendale last week. It was my first O.K. Corral Seminar, and I learned so much. Not only about EAP, but about myself, too.”

Hilary R., El Paso, TX

“Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and talents. This training will make me a better therapist!”

Keanna J., Cary, NC

“I never thought I would be learning so much usable and actionable material from spending a day with horses.”

Mesfin, Corporate Workshop Participant
