What is EAL?
Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) is an effective approach to human and leadership development in which horses play a key educational role. It is a proactive approach to empowering the individual through group interactive exercises where transferable skills can be learned.
The horses’ sensitive nature, awareness of their surroundings and ability to recognize the difference between a calm, non-threatening approach and nervous or anxious energy make them exceptional teachers in the realm of experiential learning. Working together with groups and teams, horses help gently guide participants through our many experiential programs…

Testimonials
Wow that a GREAT Night! We had the pleasure of working with Whisper (the horse) are our teammate tonight. While being blindfolded and have to lead Whisper, with each other’s instruction, through obstacle courses, was really cool. It was amazing to see how Whisper would respond to us and how our voices, our body language guided her or not LOL. Great experience that I think all couples should do.
The Dreamwinds EAL program delivered unique and structured exercises that facilitated teamwork, communication, and active listening across my team. This experience was a great alternative to the “monthly boardroom meeting”, and motivated the team to act as a cohesive unit within a fun and safe environment. I would recommend Dreamwinds to any organization!
