Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) is an experiential approach to building life skills using horses. Horses are sensitive and aware of their surroundings and quick to react. The boundaries are clear and easy to understand. Horses look for strong leadership and are willing to follow after they find respect and trust. In a horse's world, team work is expected and respected. EAL is an effective approach to human development that encourages individual and team growth. As a certified facilitator from the Cartier Academy's building block curriculum, we are pleased to bring these programs to the north for families, youth and teams. We personally work with you to build the program to your needs. Benefits of EAL: self-awareness & self-esteem, trust & respect, relationship building, responsibility, communication skills, problem-solving skills, teamwork & listening skills, appropriate assertiveness, choice-making & goal-setting skills, leadership skills, learn to read body language, negotiation skills, success over obstacles and appreciation of others.
