EQUINE FACILITATED LEARNING AND COACHING
Discover a transformative therapeutic journey with Equine Facilitated Learning and Coaching (EFLC) at StableStrides. EFLC is a unique model that pairs horses and humans to empower individuals of all ages to lead happier, more fulfilling lives. Horses, with their innate sensitivity and awareness, serve as powerful partners in helping participants identify and overcome obstacles, erroneous thoughts, or past traumas hindering their personal growth.
How Does EFLC Work?
In collaboration with equine coaches, participants engage in activities such as grooming, leading, groundwork, and horsemanship. Through these interactions, individuals gain valuable insights into their emotions, behaviors, and body language, paving the way for positive life changes. Each session is customized to meet the unique needs of the client, fostering emotional growth, learning, and self-enrichment.
Horses provide immediate and honest feedback, reflecting our emotions and serving as mirrors to our feelings of anxiety, sadness, happiness, trust, and more. As non-judgmental beings, horses build self-confidence and self-esteem, offering encouragement, hope, and unconditional love. Our programs are designed to help individuals recovering from trauma, abuse, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and more.
