This past weekend has been an exercise in self-reflection and self-awareness during the Cartier/Dreamwinds EAL facilitator symposium. 

💚 It's so great to get together with people that know what it is to be an EAL facilitator. 

💜 I saw old friends, I met new friends, human & equine.

💚 Bringing it back to the basics and then enhancing the basics thinking about objectives and key components of an exercise. 

💜 There was lots of horse time involved with Daryl, focused on our body language and the reset exercises to create long-term teachers because EAL is "where the horses do the teaching" after all. 

💚 And the cherry on top was receiving the level two EAL facilitator certificate almost 5 years after I took my initial certification in 2021.

Lastly, a huge thank you to for hosting us, the .eal and teams as well as the speakers like 💜💚

This is where I've been for the past 3 Fridays 💚💜

At Bow Valley Equine Adaptive, we are proud to offer more than just riding lessons; we offer a pathway to emotional and social growth through Equine Assisted Learning (EAL).

Our programs are built on the unique bond between human and horse, providing a non-judgmental environment where children can develop critical life skills: ✅ Emotional Regulation ✅ Communication & Trust ✅ Self-Confidence & Leadership

After week 4 of Spring programs at the insightful feedback from the youth participants keeps coming. 💚💜

🐴 What my horse taught me: “That horses are almost like people! They need to be directed to where they are going, just as we do in our everyday life.”

🐴 What my horse taught me: “That I should breathe when leading and it’s OK to take time to evaluate the thing that’s in front of you.”
