What do we do at Clady Water Farm - Equine Learning Centre…….
We’ve been some super sunny sessions these last few weeks!!! ☀️🐴☀️🐴
Building obstacle courses and navigating our way through them to allow us to reflect on how we navigate the challenges that life brings our way!
This work never ceases to amaze me how the horses and ponies can help children and young people overcome some of the biggest trauma in their lives.
Equine-facilitated learning (EFL) is a hands-on learning approach that promotes the development of life skills through equine-assisted activities.
Horses don’t judge.
They can teach people so much about themselves
You don’t need any horsemanship skills to take part in equine therapy, just a willingness to engage.
For children and adults who like less talk, more action, equine therapy is a unique and powerful way to engage sensitively with another living creature that can offer insight into our own strengths, difficulties and negative survival patterns.
Equine therapy is growing in reputation and is successfully being used as an intervention to help children and adults to overcome the trauma of adverse childhood experiences.
While there are physical benefits to EFL, its focus is on the emotional and positive mental influence that spending time with horses has on your life. EFL is experiential, meaning you learn by “doing” and the horse is a facilitator, a living breathing being who helps to direct your session, making it a combination of education, therapy and fun.
