Equine-FACILITATED Learning

Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL) activities are designed with specific life skills in mind to help foster interpersonal growth, improve communication, confidence, self-esteem, and teamwork, all while having FUN!

• Learn to read body language and other forms of non-verbal communication
• Experience how energy and behavior affects the horse and others
• Practice self-regulation
• Experience confidence while trying something new
• Grow and learn in a safe environment 
• Learn to work in a team
• Learn to understand similarities and differences in personality and behavior among humans and horses. 

Instructors encourage participants to spend quiet time with their horse in the arena. 

Activities include haltering, leading, grooming, and observing the horse's body language. 

Herd observation allows participants to watch the horses in their natural environment, learning about horse behavior, herd dynamics, and relationships.

Ground exercises improve the horse-human relationship and serve as a fun activity for a deeper connection with the horse.
