What is Equine Assisted Learning?
Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) is a hands-on, experiential approach to personal development that uses the unique connection between humans and horses to foster growth and self-discovery. Whether you're seeking to improve communication, navigate life’s challenges, or simply reconnect with yourself in a peaceful, natural setting, our EAL program offers a transformative journey unlike any other.
Unlike traditional riding lessons, EAL is primarily ground-based, requiring no previous horse experience. Once participants develop a foundational understanding of horse behavior and basic handling techniques, they may have the opportunity to mount and engage further if desired. Each session focuses on problem-solving, emotional awareness, and teamwork, making it ideal for individuals, families, and small groups alike.
Benefits of Equine Assisted Learning

✔ Stress & Anxiety Relief – Find calmness and clarity through mindful interactions with horses.
✔ Improved Communication – Learn non-verbal communication skills and build stronger relationships.
✔ Personal Empowerment – Develop leadership skills, resilience, and a sense of accomplishment.
✔ Connection to Nature – Experience the peaceful, grounding presence of the ranch environment.
What to Expect in a Session
Each Equine Assisted Learning session at MeadowView Reins is tailored to the needs of participants. Sessions include:
Groundwork with Horses – Leading, grooming, and working alongside horses.
Guided Activities – Designed to encourage problem-solving, mindfulness, and personal reflection.
Supportive Coaching – Meagan, a certified Equine Assisted Learning Coach, will guide you through the experience, helping you unlock personal insights and growth.
No riding is involved—our focus is on the power of presence and connection.
Horses are highly intuitive animals that respond to human emotions and body language. Their ability to mirror emotions provides powerful insights, helping individuals gain self-awareness and overcome personal challenges.
At MeadowView Reins, we have a deep respect for these magnificent animals and their ability to heal, teach, and inspire.
