EAL is a unique form of experiential learning where clients develop new insight, target specific areas of their life and learn new skills via relational experiences with horses. No riding or prior horse experience is required.
In EAL clients are offered safe experiences with horses for the purpose of exploring relationships, building self-awareness of patterns or habits that are no longer serving them well, developing social and emotional skills and focusing on individual needs and goals specific to them.

"Horses are beautiful, intelligent, sensitive and strong beings who can evoke strong feelings in clients by engaging them in the learning process. They assist in co-regulating a client’s nervous system and model healthy living."
Horses offer unique bio feedback and hold clients in a way traditional learning environments cannot. The natural environment can also contribute positively to learning outcomes for clients. Horses model expression of feelings while offering non-judgmental safety and trust.
Sessions focused on the individual's needs and goals. Explore self-experience in relationship, build awareness of patterns, and develop social and emotional skills. Claimable for self-managed NDIS participants.
A 7-session program in a small group setting (4–6 people). Focus on developing life skills and regulation strategies through a series of relational experiences with the horses.
Learn to ride and have fun with our horses and ponies in a safe and supportive environment. All levels and abilities catered for and beginners are very welcome.
