What is EFL
Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL) is an experiential learning method that involves engaging with horses to promote personal growth, healing, and learning. It combines reflective and active experiences with coaching and creative activities, leading to profound healing and transformation. Participants are encouraged to observe and interact with horses, which helps them challenge their assumptions and improve their self-esteem and confidence. Overall, EFL utilizes the innate qualities of horses to facilitate deep personal insights and development.
“Horses are highly reactive and mimic human emotion requiring calm, clear, intentional communication which promote awareness, self-control, and impulse modulation. Working with horses offers instant and constant feedback to participants, requires physical strength and balance, and is highly motivational, combining to make an exceptionally effective environment for leadership and personal growth.”
— Horses and Humans Foundation
We strive to make this a fun and welcoming environment for all, to enjoy the benefits of an equine connection.
