6 Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) Equine facilitated experiential learning is : A process where individual insights are self-developed through relationship and interaction with other people, horses, places and situations. Horses are amazingly sensitive - reading and responding to human intention and non-verbal communication. Their responses provide instant, honest feedback to our behavior, moment by moment. EAL is an experiential learning experience that uses horses not as tools, but as active participants.

When the communication process is realized-established, horses, like customers or co-workers and participants, become willing partners in an organization's mission, magnifying the team's power of effective leadership.
