Equine Assisted Learning

Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL)  is an experiential approach to teaching life skills like leadership, communication and teamwork using horses. Our program is an objective based learning program where participants work on the ground with donkeys through carefully designed objective-based obstacles and problem solving exercises.

The donkeys’ sensitive nature, awareness of their surroundings and herd instincts make them exceptional teachers.  Working together with groups and teams, donkeys look for a leader, the same kind of compassionate, clear and confident leader that people seek and through our many experiential programs they help gently guide participants, letting them know when they get it right and when they have opportunities to grow!
