Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) is an opportunity to build skills such as leadership, trust, assertiveness, self-confidence, patience, communication, decision making, stress management and team building, etc. Time spent with the horses involves ground only activities and does not involve any mounted or riding activities.

The therapeutic riding of a horse provides a 3-dimensional movement that mimics the human walking gait - movement that is difficult to duplicate in a clinical setting. Therapeutic driving is unique in that it offers people who cannot ride, or choose not to ride, the opportunity to participate in an equine activity.
