Harnessing Learning: Equine-Assisted Strategies for Education

Thursday August 27, 2026 2:45pm - 3:45pm CDT

Meeting Room 3

This engaging professional learning session introduces educators to the principles and practices of Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) as a powerful experiential approach to supporting student growth and success. Participants will explore how interactions with horses can foster social-emotional learning, self-regulation, communication, leadership, resilience, and relationship-building skills. Grounded in experiential and land-based learning philosophies, this session will highlight connections between equine-assisted activities, Indigenous ways of knowing, and educational outcomes. Through discussion, reflection, and practical examples, educators will discover how EAL can enhance student engagement and provide meaningful opportunities for holistic learning both inside and outside the classroom.
