I’ve posted a bit about Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) on Equus-Blog, so am rapt to have found a business in Texas (I think!) that offers equine certification in this area.
If you have an interest in EAL, are near to the vicinity where this training is offered and want to undertake a short course, why not check out Equine Assisted Training at Innovative Horizons. Over the 10 days there are different program topics; one includes:
- The Equine Assisted Learning Model of Training
