Dreamwinds Equine Assisted Learning Centre, Bradford, ON

Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) is an effective approach to human and leadership development in which horses play a key educational role. It is a proactive approach to empowering the individual through group interactive exercises where transferable skills can be learned.
The horses’ sensitive nature, awareness of their surroundings and ability to recognize the difference between a calm, non-threatening approach and nervous or anxious energy make them exceptional teachers in the realm of experiential learning. Working together with groups and teams, horses help gently guide participants through our many experiential programs
?In their natural environment, strong leadership within the herd helps guarantee the horses' survival. They depend on one another and on having a strong leader. Utilizing these same principles, at Dreamwinds we help groups harness the natural instincts and energy of our horses throughout carefully designed team building and leadership exercises. The horse’s sensitive and intuitive nature ensures they provide continuous, honest feedback to help participants learn how to get it just right!
EAL can benefit everyone. No riding or previous horse experience is required; all exercises are done from the ground with trained and qualified facilitators on hand at all times.
