Kerry M Thomas has devoted his life to understanding the emotional and behavioral fabric that connects horses and humans. From pioneering Herd Dynamic Profiling™ and Sensory Soundness™ to founding Beyond The Hoof Bookworks, his work has become a global movement recognized by the Royal Dutch Equestrian Federation, universities, and professionals across disciplines.

Now, through Partnerships in Purpose, a select number of like-minded organizations have the opportunity to stand beside Kerry and Daphne Thomas in shaping the future of education, welfare, and connection in the equine world.

​

Why Partner With Us

For nearly three decades, Kerry has walked this road alone, building, teaching, and sharing the emotional and behavioral science that connects horses and humans at their deepest levels. What began as a personal calling has become a global movement, now recognized by the Royal Dutch Equestrian Federation, universities, and equestrian professionals around the world.

We are a unique and boutique organization, pioneering a vision that bridges emotional intelligence and equine science. Our work reaches across disciplines and borders, shaping the future of welfare, education, and connection within the horse industry and beyond, for human wellness is uniquely strengthened through interaction with the horse. Learning, problem-solving, relationship building, and communication can all be positively facilitated by the horse’s natural emotional intelligence.

Partnering with us isn’t about sponsorship, it’s about purpose. It’s about joining a legacy of innovation that is redefining how the horse is understood, trained, and cared for, and how the human–horse relationship itself is perceived. Every partnership directly supports the creation of groundbreaking resources: accredited lectures, international tours, and the development of equestrian curriculum that brings emotional awareness and welfare education into the mainstream.

By standing beside us, you become part of something rare, a living movement of compassion, discovery, and truth. Together, we’re not just changing the conversation; we’re ensuring that the horse’s voice is heard, and that the human heart continues to listen.

The Partnerships in Purpose framework invites visionary organizations to join us in shaping a new global standard for connection where emotional intelligence, behavioral science, and compassion unite across species and cultures. Whether through an individual sponsorship, a regional partnership, or a long-term collaborative alliance, every level of support advances the shared goal of creating a more emotionally aware and ethically responsible world for horses, for humans, and for the generations who will inherit our example.
