Equine Facilitated Learning

Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL) involves learning ground work exercises, to build a relationship with the horse, and improve confidence and self-esteem in the participant. 

These therapeutic sessions offer a cycle of instruction, response and feedback which enables the participant to communicate with the horse in a way that the horse understands, through body language, energy and movement.
Horses are prey animals and they have a need to feel safe and seek partnership and leadership. In addition, horses are highly aware of their surroundings and very much 'in the moment'. Through building a trusting relationship, where a horse will willingly follow instruction, the partcipant learns horsemanship skills, receives instant feedback and gains confidence through achieveing the desired response. Working with a horse who is happy to build this partnership is hugely rewarding and empowering. for anyone, but especially for those who can benefit from confidence and relationship building activities.
