Reflections

We utilize both Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP). These are hands-on methods of overcoming personal challenges and obstacles with the help of horses and an emphasis on doing rather than talking.
We believe that you are the best person to determine what changes are needed in your life, therefore you are encouraged to set and work towards your own goals.
Our hands-on sessions encourage you to actively work through tasks, finding your own solutions and creating timely and long-term change.
The activities seek to reflect real life situations. This allows the horses to become symbols and metaphors of your daily life.
Personalized activities allow you recognize unhealthy patterns and behaviors while building on personal strengths.
As you change your behaviors, the horses will respond in real time and provide insight and learning.
There is no horse riding and prior horse experience is not necessary.
EAL and EAP are beneficial for individuals, families, and groups.
