Equine Assisted Learning (EAL)

Our equine-assisted services are tailored to meet the needs of clients with or without physical, developmental, cognitive, or behavioral challenges. We also have counseling programs that are facilitated by mental health professionals and licensed therapists.

Whether you choose equine-assisted learning or counseling services, our programs are designed to be recreational, enriching, and therapeutic.

Ivey Ranch values the power of horses as partners. We “join up” with our equine partners to support our diverse community and the challenges we face as individuals. Together, we strive for a better and more balanced way of being.

What Is EAL?

At Ivey Ranch, EAL clients will team up with horses and equine experts who facilitate fun, recreational, and enriching activities. Clients are led through tailored lesson plans intended to spark both knowledge-based and experiential learning, while also tapping into creative, out-of-the-box thinking.

How EAL Helps

Our equine-assisted learning services provide new ways to navigate challenges, improve communication, and practice critical thinking and problem-solving. Each session seeks to spark creative and multifaceted thinking. Ultimately, the Ivey Ranch EAL experience is geared to promote physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral strength and well-being.
