About Equine-Assisted Learning

Welcome to the Cartier Equine Center’s Certified Equine-Assisted Learning Building Block Program Series TM © specially designed to develop leadership skills in some, life-skills in those at-risk, and specific skills in participants with special needs in an effort to bring out the best in those that enter as participants of any age, skill level or profession.

The Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) youth program series was originally designed to facilitate the building of personal development skills, while ‘using horse sense’. Since its inception, we have found that participants receive a wide range of individual benefits, especially when enhanced by the followup efforts their teachers make back in the classroom.

Bullying has become a major problem in schools across the country. EAL encourages positive change by specifically targeting self esteem and confidence in both the bully and the bullied.

What is EAL?

Equine-Assisted Therapy is an experiential learning program based on horse feedback, in order to 'learn' life skills.  EAL is NOT therapy. This is not a riding program. It is completely unmounted. It is a combination of horses and people working together through obstacles. The horses are such good teachers, they are able to magnify an individual's problem immediately and provide a skilled facilitator with an opportunity to provide feedback to the individual so they might reflect upon it themselves. 

Horses don't judge. They can not over think a situation, identify motive or manipulate. They are in the moment. Their intuitive nature and innate sensitivity can provide a skilled facilitator with a window into the participant's personality. Our facilitators are able to interpret the horse's non verbal communication, providing participants the opportunity to create life altering change. ​

Why does EAL work?

​There is a formula:

  1. The horse - provides non-judgemental feedback, in a fair, respectful manner.
  2. The curriculum - is a building block style, with clear objective based exercises.
  3. The facilitation skills - allows the participants to work through the exercises task and challenge.
  4. The experiential learning opportunities - acknowledging that not all people learn the same way, and the learning potential increases exponentially in this unique environment with the horses.

Program Delivery

Sessions are 1 hour in duration, no more than twice per week to allow the concepts presented in the sessions to infuse in to daily life. The curriculum is delivered over 12-16 sessions.
