About

Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) is a structured, experiential learning approach that uses interactions with horses to develop life skills such as communication, self-awareness, emotional regulation, leadership, and problem-solving. Unlike horseback riding, EAL sessions typically take place on the ground and are facilitated by trained professionals who guide participants through purposeful activities with horses.

The unique nature of horses—as highly sensitive, non-judgmental animals—creates immediate feedback for participants, helping them recognize patterns in their behavior and practice new strategies in a supportive, engaging environment. EAL is used in a variety of settings, including education, youth development, wellness programs, and corporate training, and is especially effective for individuals seeking growth in areas such as confidence, teamwork, emotional intelligence, and resilience.
