Our Tailored EFL Personal Development Programs
Horses want us to be our best version
Our Equine Facilitated Learning programs provide insights that integrate “horse sense” into practical and essential life skills. Horses need to hear from us is what many of us would like to hear from ourselves and each other. Horses need us to have a calm, focused assurance. They need us to be consistent. They need us to be assertive yet non-threatening. They need us to be both strong and compassionate. In short, horses need us to be our best selves. Horses give us this opportunity, and EFL is designed to bring this out of us.
No horse experience or skill is required to participate in our EFL programs. Anyone of any age, background or ability can benefit. Horse Powered Help.

I was somewhat skeptical at first but EFL has been amazing for my son that has ADHD. He loves every session and is making very apparent progress in learning techniques to control and reflect on his behaviour. Truely Amazing!
Mario J.
Parent, ADHD ChildThe meaningful outcomes that I see from participants undergoing EFL is often remarkable. The reporting after each session helps me to work with the client during my sessions. The feedback has been outstanding!
Susan Webb
CounsellorI have always loved being around horses, when I found Natalie I knew it would be great for me. After my first session I left knowing I had made the right choice. She is so kind and accommodating and I felt so comfortable. Highly recommend!
