Equine Assisted Learning (EAL)
EAL is an experiential, skill-building modality that partners people with equines to grow and develop social-emotional skills, such as: building trust, focus & mindfulness, teamwork, reading body language, setting boundaries, clear communication, self-advocacy, and creative problem-solving.

Participants take part in structured horsemanship activities like leading, grooming, obstacle courses, and more, allowing participants to practice different behaviors and responses with real-time, non-judgmental feedback from their equine partner.

In EAL sessions, an instructor and volunteer adult mentor will help participants find a takeaway from their learning that they can apply to other areas of their life. We may also incorporate small animal activities with rabbits, goats, chickens, dogs, and cats. These sessions help participants build confidence, tools, & strategies needed to make healthy, helpful choices off the farm!
Please note: EAL is not clinical mental health therapy. Sessions will be led by PATH Intl. Certified Equine Professionals.
I understand that Summer Camp at Animals as Natural Therapy is not a clinical mental health therapy. I understand there are no therapists on site.

For Riding Purposes Only
Decisions regarding participation will be based on the availability of a suitable horse related to the height, weight, and balance of the participant. The maximum weight for participants for safe mounted activities at ANT is 220 pounds.

Each horse has individual weight limitations based upon the horse’s own weight, age and physical condition. Not all horses can manage the maximum weights listed below. The weight limit may be lowered as determined by available equines and the ability of staff and volunteers to safely support the participant at the time services are requested. ANT staff will evaluate the participant’s weight, balance, and physical abilities to determine if riding is a safe and appropriate activity based on available equines, staff and volunteers. All participant information will remain confidential.
Our weight limits for mounted activities are as follows:

• 220 lbs. for a well-balanced centered participant

• 150 lbs. for an unbalanced participant
Weight (for riding purposes only):
Non-Consent: I understand that if I choose not to disclose my/my child’s weight that I forgo the opportunity to ride if such an opportunity arises.
