What is it? A therapy based program for personal growth and development where the horses are the Practitioners and our Facilitators are there for support. Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) and Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) have evolved from the successful methods and programs established worldwide in over 50 countries by the Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA) model. Founded in 1999, EAGALA is recognised as the global standard for equine-assisted psychotherapy & personal development.

What is EAP and EAL?

EAP sessions address mental health treatment goals (e.g. anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, substance issues), whilst EAL sessions focus on specific educational and learning goals. EAL sessions may be conducted with activities to enhance:

  • Confidence
  • Problem Solving
  • Creative Thinking
