Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) is a form of experiential learning that includes horses and a facilitator working together with a person to create positive change. EAL often includes a number of beneficial equine activities such as observing, handling, grooming, groundwork, and structured challenging exercises focused on the young person’s needs and goals. EAL provides unique non-verbal opportunities for young people to enhance self-awareness, recognize maladaptive behaviours and identify negative feelings. Research highlights that this approach has had positive results for people with social difficulties and mental health needs that can result in significant changes in cognition, mood, judgment, insight, perception, social skills, communication, behaviour, and learning.

Programme aims:
Build Relationships and trust, Understand Boundaries, Build emotional resilience, Improve social and Communication Skills
