Our Transitional Training Seminars are specifically designed to offer active duty Soldiers assistance dealing with the tremendous stress of where they've been, and where they're going.
How do we do this?
By using our horses in ground activities, not horseback riding, to teach valuable life skills that produce immediate results, thereby reducing stress and improving communication skills. Much of the program focuses on non-verbal communication, and learning to be completely present in the situation. The immediate feedback nature of working with horses builds confidence while participant rapidly progress through their goals.

You cannot train a horse with shouts and expect it to obey a whisper.
How it Works...
Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) is a method of using horses for personal growth and learning in a setting between trained professionals working with clients and horses to acheive specific goals. These goals are often acheived much more rapidly then in other therapies or learning situations.
Equine Assisted Learning in the news: Horse Sense: New Breed Of Executive Training by Jim Zarroli
We don't ride the horses, we play games with them on the ground. The participants are given specific tasks which require non-verbal communication, patience, assertiveness and team work. This creates immediate "cause and effect" situation. We discuss them, and the participants can make instant adjustments. These adjustments can also be applied to life issues, and are lasting.
Participants learn; confidence, team building, leadership, communication skills, responsibility, empathy and boundary setting. They learn how to look closely at themselves and learn to adapt to others. They learn how to help themselves deal with issues of stress, anger management, fear, trauma, and distress.
We don't claim to fix or cure anything. We use the interaction between horse and handler to expose problems and coach the participant in finding their own solutions.
