Equine Assisted Growth & Learning
What is Equine Assisted Growth & Learning?
Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) focuses on personal growth by helping clients gain and refine life skills through interactive experiences with equines.
No prior horse experience is necessary. All exercises are conducted on the ground and involve interacting with horses through a variety of activities, such as grooming, leading, and obstacle courses.
Our facilitators design activities based on your goals with a focus on strengths-based learning.
EAL can help you:
- Gain Confidence
- Improve Relationships
- Increase Self-Awareness
- Practice Setting Boundaries
- Boost Focus, Intention and Commitment – key skills for a healthy & happy life
- Build Patience
- Have Fun
Equine Assisted Coaching
Our certified life coaches work with you and our equine facilitators to create personalized experiences in the arena that help you maximize your personal growth.
We all carry layers of habits formed from past experiences that shape our perceptions of the world and our role in it. Facilitated experiences with our equines can help you get right to the heart of the matter by helping to uncover what might be holding you back and then engaging you in activities that can help you achieve a more fulfilled, self-actualized life.
Activities designed by a coach might be as simple as walking an equine and exploring your relationship with him/her to build confidence, communication, trust and connection or as complex as moving through an obstacle course can help strengthen problem solving skills, self-awareness and mindfulness.
Using Equine Assisted Learning our Coaches can help you:
- Propel you to the next level of your personal growth
- Set goals, define values and create accountability for them
- Recognize your strengths and create a plan of action for best using them
- Uncover challenges and address areas you'd like to improve

“Coming to Stand InBalance was a way for me to step out of my comfort zone. The workshops are a great way to expose one’s tendencies and learn through interaction with others; humans, horses and donkeys.”
