Latin America Network

The HETI Latin America Network brings together EAS professionals and organisations from across the region to celebrate diversity, foster meaningful exchange, and support the growth of ethical and culturally grounded practice. The Network was established in May 2025.

 Spoken language: Spanish and Portuguese

Online meetings are scheduled 4 to 6 times per year via the ZOOM platform. The next meeting will take place on 30th June 2025.

European Equine Assisted Therapy Network (EEATN)

EEATN brings together practitioners in Equine Assisted Therapy (EAT) from across Europe. The aim is to reach consensus on terminology, advocate for the recognition of EAT, and share best practices and education models.

While EEATN connects therapists at the international level, it actively supports the development of national associations and encourages cooperation among practitioners within their own countries.

The network was established in April 2019 and is open exclusively to EAT practitioners – qualified therapists.

Spoken language: English

The group meets online every quarter and in person every two years. The next in-person meeting will take place in Portugal in September 2025.

Network coordinator: Věra Lantelme-Faisan (Czech Republic)
