Frequently Asked Questions
Questions & answers
About Equine Assisted Learning
- What is Equine Assisted Learning?
- Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) is an experiential, ground-based approach to personal growth that uses structured activities with horses to build confidence, communication, leadership, emotional awareness, and connection. The learning transfers directly to everyday life, relationships, and work.
- Is Equine Assisted Learning the same as equine therapy?
- No. EAL is educational and facilitator-led, focused on growth and skills. Equine-assisted therapy is clinical treatment delivered by a licensed mental-health professional. EAL is powerful personal growth, but it is learning, not therapy, and isn't a substitute for professional care.
Getting Started
- Do I need any horse experience to participate?
- Not at all. Every program is designed for complete beginners and fully guided by our facilitators. No prior horse experience — or any experience around horses — is needed.
- Is there any horseback riding?
- No. All activities are ground-based — you're never asked to ride. The learning happens through interacting with the horses from the ground in a safe, supportive setting.
- Who is Equine Assisted Learning for?
- Individuals, couples, families, teams, and organizations — anyone seeking personal growth, stronger relationships, confidence, communication, leadership, or connection. We also offer women's workshops and youth-friendly sessions.
