Equine Assisted Learning
Summary
At Horses Connect, we are true believers in the power of horses to help us to learn, to recover and to unlock our potential. On a daily basis, we see the transformative power of spending time and connecting with horses.
Horses help people to stay present and focused emotionally while learning. Having a horse present offers a sense of peace, as they only react to our behaviours and emotions without judgment. Horses have been found to help in many ways
- Horses help people practice staying present and focused.
- Caring for horses can teach responsibility and empathy.
- Connecting with horses can help with PTSD, anxiety, and ADHD.
Who Is It For
Children and adults with a wide range of challenges including ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression and physical disabilities. Contact us if you are interested but not sure if it’s suitable.
What’s Involved
Weekly 30 minute sessions involving offering learning experiences through grooming, leading, playing or simply interacting with the horse. For example, simple caring tasks like grooming a large animal builds self-trust and helps to teach responsibility and empathy. Fun activities like hunting for treasures with the horse builds both physical strength and a sense of leadership.
Our sessions are led by a certified Equine Assisted Learning coach that adapts each session for the individual’s needs and abilities.
