Equine-Assisted Learning Models: Adult Learning, Training, Coaching

This E-manual is not the official word on Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) as there is no official word. The field continues hold robust forums to help define and recognize Equine Assisted practices that are separate and distinct from therapy. What you’ll find here is shared from author Lynn Baskfield's twenty-four years of coaching and training experience, twenty-one of which include horses.

You will find here approaches that are under the umbrella of Equine Assisted Learning: adult learning, distinctions between traditional and experiential learning models, training done with groups, coaching, and distinctions between coaching and therapy. As a certified coach herself, Lynn has found that coaching skills are useful to bring to all areas covered in the manual. The coaching sections are more fully developed with an overview of some of the skills involved.
