EAL is a way of using horses to help visualize and further understand the development of life skills. There is no riding involved and absolutely no horse experience is necessary to participate. EAL programs are designed for groups of 2-4 to work together, along with a horse, to navigate obstacles. Each obstacle is designed to focus on different life skills such as communication, creative thinking,
trust, negotiation, and of course, teamwork! Why use Horses? Despite the large size of horses, they are prey animals with a strong flight sense. This has given horses the ability to tune into our body language and emotions and give instant feedback. The way a horse reacts will often tell us much more about ourselves than a typical human interaction ever could. These interactions are the core of all EAL programs and by reflecting on them, we can gain insight to ourselves. For more information or to set up a consult, please contact us at [email protected]
