Friendly Trails

Equine Assisted Leadership Center

EQUINE ASSISTED GROWTH AND LEARNING

Equine Assisted Learning is accomplished through experiential sessions for adults, families, couples, and youth. Clients work with the Friendly Trails herd of horses, facilitated by a licensed mental health therapist and equine specialist who are certified by EAGALA (Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association, eagala.org). Clients are directed to participate in simple activities on the ground with horses, and they do not ride. The facilitators guide and comment on the activity. EAL sessions may also be scheduled for corporate or non-profit groups for team building and conflict resolution.
