Equine-Assisted Learning & Psychotherapy
Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) is an experiential learning approach where horses become part of the personal development process. EAL can support leadership development, communication, team building, parenting workshops, children & teen life skills & bully-proofing programs.
Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) works on a deeper emotional and therapeutic level, with sessions co-facilitated alongside qualified psychologists & equine specialists. EAP can support individuals, couples, parents, children & families through meaningful therapeutic experiences guided by both horses and professionals.
