What is EAL?
Equine-Assisted Learning is an individual or small group experiential approach that assists participants in developing meaningful life skills such as achieving personal growth, developing and improving communication, interpersonal and professional skills, team building and more! Guided, safe, interactions are facilitated by our certified and credentialed treatment team which includes one or more horses participating in ground activities and exercises specifically tailored to the objectives of the group.

Comrades-in-Arms
Offered at no charge to military veterans and active duty service members, Comrades-in-Arms provides participants the opportunity to share experiences with their peers in a supportive, small group format supported by our Horses and Treatment Team. Focused on rebuilding trust and confidence, participants identify and tackle the challenges they encounter working to reintegrate into civilian life while experiencing the esprit de corps many express missing once separated from the military. These 90 minute workshops are FREE thanks to donors and grant funders to our V.E.T.S Scholarship Fund. They are offered on designated Saturdays throughout the year.

Are you a healthcare worker, burnt out by the challenges of the pandemic, needing a bit of restoration?
Description: Providing care to others during the pandemic and these uncertain times can lead to stress, anxiety, fear, and other strong emotions. How you cope with these emotions can affect your well-being, the care you give to others while doing your job, and the well-being of the people you care about outside of work. During this equine assisted & learning workshop our team will help you regain strength & restoration, while working through critical coping skills to help our healthcare workers who are helping so many others each day!
