HORSE POWERED LEARNING
Equine-Assisted Learning is a learner based educational experience with horses. More specifically, EAL is an effective approach to human development that encourages individual and team growth. Participants engage in objectively driven exercises and find themselves learning valuable life skills in a fun and exciting atmosphere while working with horses.
Why horses?
Horses are tough and stead fast dance partners. They consistently react to stimulus provided by participants. Some of the joys associated with working around horses are - they don't judge but they constantly assess. Their feedback is honest and instant. Learning to listen to what horses have to say is powerful and can sometimes spur the answer to individual change. By including horses in specially designed educational exercises, we have greatly multiplied the participant's rate of success to self-discovery.
