Shetland Pony Equine Assisted Learning
Shetland Pony Equine Assisted Learning (SPEAL) is a fascinating approach that combines the wisdom of Shetland Ponies with human learning. Shetland ponies, with their gentle demeanour and unique personalities, play a significant role in this process.
By including Shetland Ponies in uniquely-designed learning exercises, an equine-assisted practitioner can observe non-verbal communication between the Pony and the participant. The practitioner guides the session, translates what they see going on, and encourages the learner to move through the exercise. Once the activities of the session are complete, the practitioner and participant debrief on the experience, discuss insights and look at next steps. This experiential approach to learning effectively provides understanding and retention of skills and ideas.
Shetland Pony Equine-assisted learning workshops, which involve a practitioner and one or more participant, vary depending on the situation being addressed. Experiential techniques such as role-playing, role-reversal, and mirroring, are combined with Shetland Pony -based activities, including choosing, grooming, walking and groundwork activities with a pony .. After the activity, participants then process or discuss their feelings and behaviours associated with the session.
Our Shetland Pony Equine Assisted Learning workshops are great for improving confidence and team building skills.
We offer group and individual Shetland pony Equine Assisted Learning workshops
