Why Horses?

Horses are honest in all relational aspects which makes them exceptionally powerful messengers.

As ourselves, horses are the sum of their experiences and offer opportunities for metaphorical learning. Through metaphors, we are able to help participants resolve the most challenging difficulties. The horse’s sensitivity to the human state of mind and human body language allows them to mirror us. Through EAL exercises participants learn cause-and-effect. As they change their behavior, the horses will change their response.

EAL is a valuable experience for anyone. We can all benefit from activities that develop leadership and build teamwork. These learning activities have become very popular with companies and teams that are looking to improve their effectiveness and interpersonal skills.

Like humans, horses have personalities and character traits. Each of our horses overcame diversity, hardship or health challenges to become the amazing and beautiful beings they are today. 

We love to share their stories with you when you come visit us.
