Equine Facilitated Learning

Welcome to Equintervention

Spending time with horses in this way is a great way to neutralise anxiety, reduce stress and create positive interventions for a variety of conditions such as ADHD and Autism.

Equine Therapy

Equine therapy is a therapeutic practice involving interactions between people and horses to promote emotional and psychological healing.
Equine Therapy helps people with mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and autism promoting communication skills, and  confidence.

EFL Practitioner Training

Become a certified Equine Facilitated Learning Practitioner. This course will equip you with the skills to guide personal growth through horse interactions.

The programme covers equine behaviour, facilitation techniques, and experiential learning principles and how to create safe, impactful equine interactions.

Meet The Horses

We feel it is just as important to understand the personal qualities and characteristics of a horse, before expecting them to walk alongside an individual and start their healing magic.

They too have unique personalities, experiences that have shaped them and a special something to offer you. So it is helpful to get a feel for them, before meeting them and trusting each other to this journey you are beginning.

Equine Facilitated Learning (sometimes called Equine Assisted Learning) is a unique learning experience with the help of a horse. How this plays out is between you and the horse ultimately. As soon as you start your journey with them, the outcome is what the two of you make it.  

It becomes a cycle of support and instant feedback from the horse, which is hugely empowering and rewarding. Horses are brilliant listeners and natural healers. I am a firm believer in the power of therapeutic work using equines and EFL is one of these strands.

EFL is particularly good for individuals with Autism, Anxiety or ADHD.
