What is Equine Assisted Growth and Learning?


Equine assissted growth and learning is essentially an experience with a horse where you learn about yourself in order to find out which behaviors work for you and which may not work for you.
Activities with horses provide opportunities to gain new and different perspectives and skills. Horses help you discover your natural capacity for awareness, confidence, courage and trust.

  • Equine Assisted Growth & Learning is not talk therapy.
  • There is no right or wrong way to perform an activity.
  • There is no judgment or “shoulds”.

Why horses?


The horse is your emotional mirror. They respond to what you are feeling, not what you are saying. What occurs in the arena with horses parallels what occurs in the “arena of life”.
Horses do not lie. Like humans, they respond positively to clear communication, respect, and honesty. Clear communication, respect and honesty build trust.

Do I need any horse experience?


No horse experience is necessary! Equine assisted growth and learning is not about horsemanship, it is about your own personal experience.

What can I learn?


This is an opportunity to explore what behavior patterns are successful and which ones are less satisfying. You will be able to look at emotions, behaviors, and methods of communications from a unique perspective. Activities are personally customized to fit the requests of the participant(s).

Do I need to wear anything special to work with the horses?


When attending a session, please wear appropriate clothing and footwear for being outside with horses.
