Equine Assisted Learning (EAL)
Empowerment, Growth and Self-Discovery
Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) is a unique approach to personal development that emphasizes the connection between humans and horses. This non-mounted, experiential learning method is designed for both adults and children, focusing on non-verbal emotional processing and self-discovery. Led by Equine Specialists, participants engage in ground work activities that foster self-understanding and assist individuals in navigating life's challenges.
The activities are structured to enhance self-awareness, leadership skills, and confidence. Through the process of non-vocal communication with horses, students gain insights into their own behaviors, their environment, and the impact they have on others. This holistic approach not only promotes personal growth but also facilitates healing and emotional well-being.
