LEARNING WITH HORSES
What's involved and how does it work?
Learn about the benefits of our Approach and Process, the Science and the Integrations in Learning with horses
THE APPROACH
Learning by Doing creates concrete experiences
Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle defines it best... Guiding the development of experiential learning activities.
In the Kolb model, students have a concrete experience on which they will reflect (possibly through an assignment or other structured activity) that guides them to new perspectives and knowledge. Students then apply and test this learning in future situations.
“Experiential learning theory is the process where knowledge is created through transformation of experience.” David Kolb
THE PROCESS
Three steps to arrive at personal, team and organizational change with the help of the horses
All of our programs are built around our three-stage process.
The wisdom of horses and their unfiltered response facilitates the new levels of awareness in our beliefs, perceptions and actions with a fresh pair of eyes. This insight helps generate the new levels of awareness and understanding that are necessary to implement the changes we need to reach our full potential.
Step 1: Awareness
The immediate and unbiased feedback we receive from working with horses creates a highly unique awareness of how we appear to others. This helps to establish a starting point to begin moving from where we are today to where we want to be in the future.
Step 3: Change
Once there is awareness and understanding of the beliefs, perceptions, and assumptions that are driving our actions and outcomes, we can couragously step into doing things differently to create the outcomes we desire.
Step 2: Understanding
Our facilitators are experts in understanding equine behavior and they bring meaning and rich insight to how we present ourselves and the impact we have on others. This provides the opportunity to rethink and reset our own behaviours in line with the outcomes we are seeking.

THE SCIENCE
Neuroscience informs the benefits of incorporating horses in this program and the outcomes for the participant
Experiential learning with horses engages multiple senses and promotes neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability to reorganize and form new neural connections that shift thinking patterns and associated outcomes.
Neuroscience research has demonstrated the effectiveness of experiential learning in facilitating behavior change and skill acquisition. Working with horses deepens that learning with tangible experiences.
