Equine Assisted Learning is an experiential method of developing and fostering life skills.
Horses can’t lie, they don't hold grudges, they wont judge you based on your appearance or past mistakes. They live in the moment and ask that you do the same. They have no ulterior motives, and it makes a difference.
As highly social, highly perceptive, prey animals, horses have the ability to awaken within us our most evolved and conscious selves. Horses have the ability to read facial expressions, and they communicate with body language. They mirror even the most carefully hidden emotions when working with people. They have the ability to quietly heal past trauma while encouraging us to step into our futures.
These programs are based on the knowledge that you have within you every talent, attitude, quality, and characteristic needed to succeed in life and create an incredible future.
