Equine Assisted Learning

Equine Assisted Learning is a fun way to learn social, emotional, life mastery and leadership skills practically through relational activities with horses. A trained facilitator will ensure you are kept safe in your interactions and also help you to maximise your learning potential. 

At Aligned Living, our equine-assisted learning programs are thoughtfully crafted to support individuals, families, and community groups in their journey toward personal growth, emotional well-being, and meaningful connections. 

Whether you're seeking to discover purpose and identity, improve social and emotional skills, or learn more about the fascinating world of horses, we have a program tailored to your needs. 

Our sessions are designed to create a safe and supportive environment where participants can explore new ways of living with the support of our gentle therapy horses.

Tailored Learning Experience

Our programs offer diverse experiences tailored to various needs and goals. We understand that every individual and group is unique, so we provide both standard programs and the option to customise a program that aligns with your specific objectives. 

Please note that our learning programs focus on ground-based activities and do not involve riding horses.

Our Programs

STABILISE Program

This program is designed to help participants bridge the gaps in their emotional education. Through interactions with our therapy horses, you will learn how to stabilise yourself and your relationships, enhancing your ability to self-soothe, manage emotions, and connect with God, yourself, and others healthily. 

Research so far has demonstrated that participants who engage in this program have decreased symptoms of stress and anxiety after completing the program.

Learn About Horses Program

Curious about what makes horses tick? 

Our Learn About Horses program is a three-session introduction to equine care and behaviour basics. This mini-program is ideal for those interested in horses but not yet ready for therapeutic sessions. 

You will better understand what horses need, how they live, and what makes them unique.

Ignitions Program

The Ignitions program spans six weeks, with weekly sessions designed to develop social and emotional skills in students through various interactions with our therapy horses. 

Each week focuses on a different theme: Awareness, Boundaries, Emotions, Thoughts/Self-Esteem, Relationships, and Creativity in Facing Challenges. This program is perfect for those looking to enhance their emotional intelligence in a supportive environment.

Bible Basics Program

Learning the Bible has never been so fun and practical! Our Bible Basics program is a unique opportunity to put your Christian faith into practice in a fun and engaging way. Through this program, you'll learn to hear God's voice, feel loved and loving, align with God's ways, and experience peace. 

Don’t struggle in your walk, learn how to be carried on eagle’s wings and rest in the arms of your heavenly Father. Horses know how to be led by the Spirit of God (Isaiah 63:13), look to the animals, they will teach you (Job 12:7).
