Equine Assisted Learning

Equine assisted learning offers similar benefits to equine assisted therapy in making contact and bonds with the horses. It differs from equine assisted therapy in that it has a totally experiential approach. This mean it has less emphasis on talking, thinking about challenges and is not about going into issues at depth so it is lighter in approach. It is learning without realising learning is taking place. Learning about horses and their behaviours through play and activities leads to learning about self which can be transferred into every day life. Benefits include the development of confidence, social skills, boundaries, assertion, emotional resilience, behavioural and emotional regulation and grounding skills
