What is Equine Experiential Education?
It is a powerful and effective approach to personal growth and professional development for individuals and groups. It is a process of learning by DOING rather than by talking and listening. E3 uses horses to co-facilitate and educators to help assimilate information from interactive observations. Research has shown that E3 programs significantly improve communication, self esteem, empathy, tolerance for stress, problem solving skills, responsibility, teamwork, leadership skills trust and interpersonal relationships.
Horses are sensitive, intelligent creatures that respond to both positive and negative changes generated by a person’s body and behavior- they mirror or reflect the emotions and energy of the people around them.
The activities are designed to highlight particular aspects of personal growth such as communication, trust, self confidence, respect, motivation, problem solving, connection and how to raise and lower personal energy and turn it into a tool for empowerment to make things happen.
