Equine Assisted Learning

It is a collaborative effort between an educator and a horse professional
working with students and horses to address learning goals
.
What is EAL?
The best thing
for the inside
of a [person]
Is the outside
of a horse.WW Will Rogers
Why EAL?
Socratic Method:
teacher imparts no information,
Instead, asks questions
the pupil eventually comes to the desired knowledge.
The teacher takes a “pose” of ignorance
How does it work?
Not directive teaching about horses/horsemanship
The art of asking questions
Socratic method
Focus on processThe horse task is never the goal – the focus is
the process
Solution - Oriented
Getting to know each other
Introducing the task
To everyone
Ready – Get set -- GO
Debrief - Discuss It’s not about the
task or the horses ----
It’s about how it
connects with YOUR life
“The unique experience with the horses will be something that I will always remember. It has given me things to think about that will help me be a better teacher.”“
