EAL is a non-formal educational process in which horses play a key educational role. EAL activities incorporate horses to create situations where transferable skills can be learned. This form of education is experiential in nature, is hands on but it also a whole body approach to learning incorporating all the senses. It is inherently holistic in that it involves the cogitative, emotional and spiritual aspects of self. It is generally ground based.
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) incorporates horses experientially for emotional growth and learning. it is a collaborative effort between a licensed therapist and a horse professional working with the clients and horses to address treatment goals. Because of its intensity and effectiveness, it is considered a short-term, or "brief" approach.
