Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) is a therapeutic and educational approach that involves interactions between humans and horses to facilitate personal growth and learning. This method centers on the unique non-verbal communication that occurs between a horse and a human. It's an experiential form of learning where individuals engage in activities with horses, leading to insights and changes in their behavior or thinking patterns. The process is grounded in the understanding that horses possess an innate ability to reflect human emotions and behaviors, providing immediate feedback and fostering self-awareness in participants.
Augment your future with Equine Assisted Personal Development (EAPD) Coaching. Internationally recognized and spanning Canada, USA, Mexico, and Australia, EAPD Coaches are more than just professionals; they are catalysts for change, guiding individuals and families through a unique learning process with horses as their insightful partners. This innovative approach leverages the profound non-verbal communication between humans and horses, facilitating deep personal insights and emotional growth. Step into a role where your passion meets purpose, and transform lives, including your own, with an EAPD certification.
Independently guide learners in self-awareness and growth using horses for emotional and psychological insights.

Incorporating Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) into animal therapy practices offers significant benefits for therapists and learners alike. Horses, with their innate sensitivity to human emotions, serve as effective co-facilitators in the therapeutic process. EAL also presents a refreshing alternative to traditional indoor therapy settings, creating a soothing and engaging environment for learners. For animal therapists, EAL diversifies their skill set and broadens the scope of their services, contributing to more comprehensive and impactful mental health care.

"I had my doubts about whether horses really respond to energy/emotions. Through the week, time and time again, I saw it really happen. Can't wait to see where I can go with this. Much more than expected. I did not expect to have such real emotion."
"The EAL Coach Course was incredible. The instructors have a unique way of connecting and teaching on a very deep level. The course has given me the confidence and skills to move forward towards my dreams.”
“Wow, so much to process! This course exceeded my expectations and even though I have years' experience with horses, I learned so much more about how expressive they can be when not being controlled in the context of a traditional lesson/session. I can't emphasize enough how important this course is if you are wanting to take your knowledge to the next level, horse and client-wise."
“I have attended several certification type courses and EAL Canada was by far the best one! Ross and Dee provide a comprehensive program that takes you step-by-step on your road to becoming an EAL Coach. I left feeling ready to begin my own program. Especially knowing about all the ongoing support I would receive."
"I recommend this course to anyone who loves horses and longs to help others. You will also gain personal insights and grow yourself!"
