Our Programs
Equine Assisted Learning EAL)
Within this 1 hour session, participants are invited to interact and learn with the horses as an individual or in a group session.
Equine Assisted Learning sessions (EAL) are run by an Equine Specialist with a background in case management, mental health and community services work, specialising in working with children, young people and families from a person-centred framework. During these sessions we can use interactive horse activities to work on topics such as emotional regulation, communication, self-awareness, social skills, problem solving skills, self-esteem and look at mindfulness exercises to address stress and anxiety. EAL programs are designed around learning and are delivered in an educational setting, without the inclusion of a Mental Health professional. This means we do not provide specialist medical or mental health advice during the sessions but can make referrals if necessary. However, EAL does have the potential to be therapeutic and can support those experiencing anxiety and stress related mental health. Spend time getting to know the equine guides and participate in ground activities to explore horse behaviour and the herd mentality. Learn how you can apply this information to your everyday tasks and practise mindfulness to reduce stress and anxiety.
