mission

My overall intent

Is to create opportunities to provide relief to persons of all ages and abilities, build resilience, strength, and confidence through team building and leadership exercises with a horse. 

We create opportunities for participant self-development and growth, given the skills to internalize this awareness within the sessions and then generalize it to other life situations.

Awesome, one of a kind, experiential events, that encourage leadership and team building. 

This  also leads to building relationships with others.

We believe at *Kawartha Corral*  we offer a unique approach to learning and a powerful journey of understanding.

Our Equine partners are ready to make an awesome, experiential event, with the approach to what they know, 

Team work!. 

What is Equine Assisted Learning?

Equine Assisted Learning (EAL), a non-riding program, is a relatively new field within the area of equine assisted interventions and draws primarily on the tenets of 'experiential' or 'hands on' learning. While resonating with some of the core values found within our Equine Guided Interventions, in general EAL is an educational program that is facilitated within a group format and focuses on ground activities. In EAL participants engage in structured, objective-based, facilitator-led sessions with constant feedback related to the participants' experiences. 

The horse is generally considered the teacher and a qualified facilitator is there to help guide the participants on a journey of learning and understanding. The group sessions provide opportunities for participants to become engaged in situations that require interaction with the horse and other group members, and to reflect on these experiences. 

How does it Work?

*New Path* is an experiential program where you learn from doing and participating in the group or individually with a horse. 

First, we meet in the classroom and we have a open discussion about our objective for the session.

Next we learn about the horse, the rules of the farm, safety first and what the plan is for the objective-based session.  

Then we see what the Herd can teach you about being a team member. 

This is a fun and exciting opportunity  which turns into a new skill or one you might not think about or forgot about. 

The facilitators will guide you through the experience and the horses will teach you how they like things done as a herd.

After spending time with the horses we go back to the classroom and debrief about all the things we accomplished with an open discussion. 

I look forward to your feedback and all the recommendations you can send and remember
