EAL or Equine Assisted Learning is a powerful self-development modality that enables individuals to gain key life skills including communication, leadership and teamwork, in partnership with horses.

​

Horses are incapable of judging, criticising or holding a grudge. Their feedback is immediate, and free from emotion, therefore participants are able to develop and "practice" new skills in a relaxed, fun and supported environment - which is proven to be most conducive to learning.

​

The simple intention of "looking after your team mate" can lead to an awesome sense of personal achievement, which is why our sessions are conducted in small groups, with the horse as the central team member.

​

Paths to Purpose builds on connection, trust and relationships with horses to empower and develop authentic relationships with ourselves and those around us.

​

The horses are our partners in the process of self-discovery. They guide us, inspire us to grow, and help reveal our true internal states, so that we may become authentic communicators and effective leaders.

​

In EAL, horses are regarded as our "teachers," our "team mates" and our "companions," so we do not ride them, we do not force them to do anything they don’t want to do, we don’t cajole or use any harmful equipment. We simply ask them to participate. This is the power of Equine Assisted Learning - where our 'teachers' provide the quiet, still moment in which truth can find its voice.
