Become a Certified EAL Facilitator and turn your passion for horses into a fulfilling and lucrative career!
Begin your EAL Certification online from the comfort of home! The full course is comprised of two parts
- this classroom component that runs 9am-12noon daily for 3 days
- then join us in person for 3 days to put our theory to work facilitating groups.

Also included with certification is an EAL textbook, which includes useful information for the new facilitator to take away with him/her. And should the new facilitator have any questions, we're only a phone call away!

Classroom Theory:
- Covering the Basics
- Facilitating-vs-Teaching
- Understanding Herd Behavior
- Group problem Solving
- Maintaining Quality EAL Horses
- Briefing & explanation of daily exercise delivery
Practical Application:
- Hands on practical application understanding the program & how to produce it
- Facilitating the programs objectives to achieve the outcomes (planting the seed)
- How each exercise can stand on its own or build upon each other
- Creating safe learning, through evaluation of environment and participant profile
- Recognizing red flags and defusing situations using open ended questions
- The importance of timing and feel (when to move in when to stand back)
- Observation skills: watching body language of horses and participants to allow facilitators to guide the journey
- Maintenance and choosing of lesson horses: re-schooling and assessing suitability to create long-term teachers
