NOTE: our workshops utilize an equine-assisted "learning" (EAL) model, as opposed to an equine-assisted "therapy" (EAT/mental health) model. In other words, the purpose of the workshop is not intended as professional mental health counseling.  We do encourage mental health professionals to attend and evaluate if equine-assisted interventions can benefit their practice.
