Equine Assisted Learning (EAL)
Not only do we offer one on one psychology sessions here at Epona Brae. We also offer Equine Assisted Learning sessions in which are facilitated by our EPI trained practitioner Shona Davis, along with our equine herd.
The main objective of our EAL sessions is to develop life skills including:
- Social skills, such as boundaries & communication
- Confidence/resilience
- Problem solving
- Awareness, both physical and emotional
- Relationships
- Kindness and empathy
We do this through the use of observations with the horses, as well as spending time with them doing various activities such as, horsemanship, mounted sessions and liberty.
Why Equine Assisted Learning?
EAL is the perfect stepping stone for any individuals who aren’t ready for therapy, as it still teaches and develops so many important life skills without delving into what is going on within the individuals life.
