Equine Assisted learning



Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) is a type of experiential learning that involves interactions between people and horses to develop life skills. It’s often used in personal development, education, and team-building settings.

Key Aspects of Equine-Assisted Learning:

  • Non-riding activities: Most EAL sessions are ground-based, meaning participants don't ride the horses. Instead, they might lead, groom, or do obstacle-based activities with the horse.
  • Focus on skills: EAL helps build skills such as:
    • Communication
    • Leadership
    • Trust
    • Problem-solving
    • Emotional regulation
    • Confidence
  • Facilitated by professionals: Sessions are typically led by trained facilitators, sometimes in partnership with a mental health or education professional.
  • Horses as mirrors: Horses are highly sensitive animals that respond to human body language, energy, and emotions. Their behavior gives immediate feedback, helping participants gain insights about themselves.

Who It's For:

  • Youth and teens
  • Corporate or organizational teams
  • Individuals working on personal growth
  • People overcoming trauma or behavioral challenges

Not the Same as Therapy:

While equine-assisted therapy (EAT) involves licensed therapists and addresses clinical goals, EAL focuses more on learning and development rather than treatment.Develop personal work ethic / responsibility 

Observe nature of the horse and emphasizes the importance to social success
