What is Equine Assisted Learning (EAL)?

EAL is a method of developing self awareness through the company of horses.  It is a non-confrontational, non-directive form of learning through experience which encourages people to identify behaviour and the changes they may need to make without "being told what to do".  Facilitators create a safe environment so that the learner can work things out for themselves.

Why Horses?

Horses are social animals with individual roles within the herd.  They have their own personalities and moods and they have very successful, non-verbal communication based on body language and energy.  This all reflects the individual's role within society.

 

Horses are non-judgemental and have no pre-conceived assumptions that might limit the learning process.  They do not judge according to our appearance, the colours of our hair or our history.  They do provide instant feedback based on our energy 'in the moment'.

Who can EAL Benefit?

Equine Assisted Learning can be of benefit to everyone.  At New Horizons EAL, we work with children, youngsters and adults from many different backgrounds and with various needs.  Asperger's Syndrome, ASD, ADHD, learning difficulties/disabilities and challenging behaviour are some of the areas we are experienced with.  

 

Over the last few years, we have worked alongside organisations to support and enhance skills for adults in the active stages of recovery from addition and those who are unemployed.  We also work closely with individuals and families to build relationships, self-esteem, confidence and those who have suffered bereavements.

 

By engaging people in learning and discovering strengths and weaknesses EAL can develop skills such as leadership, decision making, stress management, lateral thinking, planning and motivation, goal setting, and team integration.

Support Us/Donate

We are a non-profit organisation and there are many different ways that you can support us if you wish.

 

Volunteering

Whether it be with general horse care or session volunteering, we are always looking to add more people to our small team of volunteers.  Horse experience isn't necessary but is a bonus although we do run volunteer training sessions throughout the year to familiarise our volunteers with our horses, our horsemanship methods and how we run sessions.

 

If you are interested in volunteering the please email hannah@newhorizonseal.org.
