What is EAL?
To put it simply, Equine Assisted Learning is a learner based educational experience with horses - in this case, Clydesdales. More specifically, EAL is an effective approach to human development that encourages individual and team growth. Participants engage in objectively driven exercises and find themselves learning valuable Life Skills in a fun and exciting atmosphere while working with horses. EAL has proven to be effective, powerful, positive, educational, and creative.
The Nickweb Equine Assisted Learning's program emphasizes it's building-block curriculum of facilitating Life Skills through positively reinforced interaction with horses. Exercises are developed to encourage self-confidence through validated, hands-on experiences. Current research has found this experiential form of learning to be most effective.
Why horses?
Horses are Tough and Steadfast dance partners. Horses consistently react to stimulus provided by participants. Some of the joys associated with working around horses are - they don't Judge, but they constantly assess. They are so sensitive to you and what you feel that they can even hear the beating of your heart! Their feedback is honest and instant. Learning to listen to what horses have to say is Powerful and can sometimes spur the answer to individual change. By including horses in specially designed educational exercises, equine-assisted facilitators have greatly multiplied the participant's rate of success to self discovery.
How?
