What is Equine Assisted Learning?
A trauma informed, experiential approach to social and emotional skills building
Billy Sparrow Equine Assisted Learning provides a unique opportunity for someone to explore deeper connections with themselves and others in a non-threatening way.
Horses live in a state of awareness in the present moment. They are herd animals, living in connection with others and constantly communicating and negotiating boundaries. Horses are a beautiful model for us. Horses authentically respond to us in each present moment allowing us to learn about communication through non-verbal cues .
Whether you have experience with horses or not, you will be relating in a new way that allows exploration of patterns and provides opportunities to experiment with new ways of being. Equine Assisted Learning provides a way to become more aware and more present to promote healthier, happier versions of ourselves, our relationships and our lives.
Who can benefit from Equine Assisted Learning?
Everyone can benefit. Horses provide authentic, non-judgemental interactions for anyone, of any age and any background.
Equine Assisted Learning can be helpful to explore communication and relationship patterns, behaviour patterns and expression of emotion, feeling stuck, coping with grief and/or trauma, and general personal development.
Equine Assisted Learning can also be fantastic for improving team cohesiveness and leadership skills, as well as a creative and engaging way to implement corporate training programs.
