Walking Through Fire: The Zenerjen Pairing of Humans and Horses
Jen Zoe Hall Turned Tragedy, Chaos, and Hopelessness into a Fairy Tale that's Helping Save Horses and Humans Alike

When I met Jen Zoë Hall in February of 2013, I had no idea how much she and her work for horses would come to mean to me. We found each other rubbing shoulders – quite literally – at Tony Robbins’ Los Angeles event – Unleash the Power Within, where we each walked across a bed of fire and hot burning coals barefoot, without a single burn to our skin.
You may ask: who is this, Tony Robbins? Well, he’s the self-help guru you saw in the movie “Shallow Hal” with Jack Black and a man who’s counseled millions of people around the world including at least three U.S. Presidents. He cracks open your psyche and again, quite literally, ‘unleashes the power’ within you.
Like Tony Robbins and on a more personal level, Jen and I discovered we were both die hard horse-lovers and have been aligned ever since. There’s a special bond that’s built with those that attend one of Robbins’ events, a bond like the one that’s built between humans and our iconic American equines – the horses who’s very backs this country was built upon and are responsible for the development of civilizations around the globe. Jen saw that bond and after experiencing Tony Robbins, knew she needed to bring the world of personal development to horses.

Jen, now based in West Palm Beach, Florida near Wellington, has taken her love for horses, a career as a well-trained equine instructor and horse whisperer, and combined that with over a decade of study and immersion in the personal development world with leaders like Tony Robbins. From her struggles of a devastating divorce that left her homeless, losing her veteran brother to a drug overdose, and feeling isolated from her family, she rose above her environment and developed The Zenerjen Method, and her program is not only saving horses, but changing lives as well.
Using the skills she offers Zenerjen is able to deprogram what society has engrained in our brains since birth. She’s developed an outstanding program of Equine Assisted Empowerment, using rescued horses, a program that is perfect for anyone who wants to take immediate control of their lives, get mental and emotional clarity, release old belief systems and achieve greatness in relationships, finances, physical health and emotional fitness.

Nowadays, humans are increasingly disconnected as COVID-19 and other variants continue to ravage the human race and salt the planet. And with most humans already feeling as if they’re reliving Groundhog Day, a continuous loop of daily stressful boondoggles throughout each day, we have long been in need of what Zenerjen offers.
Zenerjen has built a rock-solid marriage of equine assisted empowerment and personal development that is tremendous value for your own personal, mental and physical health as well as the growth of your dreams, you know – the ones you haven’t quite forgotten about lingering in the back of your mind while life, the news media, your employer, your significant other, or your family has beaten you down.
Zenerjen’s programs are the perfect solution that will radically disrupt the industry through four pillars of passion: safe horses, compassionate culture, a sustainable business model, and contribution to charities. And Jen has worked with thousands around the world including horse rescues, those in the political sphere, corporate executives and entrepreneurs.
At the end of the day, human beings have a deep desire to help others and Zenerjen helps fulfill that burning desire with science on the program’s side to prove it. Research has shown the natural healing power that horses have. ‘Zenerjen horses, paired with the facilitation of its experts gives participants unforgettable life changing experiences,’ as Jen has shared.
Hall’s program contains virtual and in-person programs, home study programs, a contribution community called the ZenClub, and provides individual, corporate, and NGO retreat services for everyone from one unique horse lover to corporations the size of Sweet Greens, Whole Foods, and Apple.
Jen’s ultimate mission is to prevent countless horses from ending up in the horse slaughter pipeline – horses that have been repurposed for the betterment of their own quality of life and the humans they’re supporting. Jen says, “With the Zenerjen Method, everyone can have a life transforming experience with a horse that maintains the dignity of the animal.”
So, if you’re looking for some space to clear your mind, grow in a new and positive direction to fulfill your dreams, heal deep lifelong wounds, while having some fun, Jen Hall’s programs at Zenerjen are designed to accomplish what you are seeking.
