What is Equine Assisted Learning (EAL)?
With the assistance of the exceptional intuition and insight of the horses and ponies, our unique service delivers outstanding results through Equine Assisted Learning (EAL).
EAL is a real life experiential learning opportunity through interaction with horses in an outdoor environment. There is no riding involved in EAL sessions and familiarity with horses is not necessary. We tailor-make our programmes to suit the needs of the group or individual.
Who can benefit from attending FEAL?
Equine assisted learning can benefit people of all ages and abilities. Our sessions provide opportunities to engage in therapeutic, non-riding interactions with the horses.
FEAL offers individual and small group sessions for people and carers living with (but not limited to):
Additional Needs
Physical disability
Dementia
Complex health needs
Mental ill-health
Bereavement support
Anyone can benefit from attending FEAL, for some people it is an opportunity to experience a peaceful, outdoor environment away from the stresses of everyday life or simply to work on personal growth and self-awareness.
We offer sessions for organisations as well as individuals including:
