As well as offering workshops at our home base near Aberdeen, we have a network of venues each with a team of delightful horses in UK and through our wider network can also offer workshops in US, Europe and Australia.
the red horse speaksTM is internationally recognised and as a result Beth is frequently invited to speak at conferences and is sought after as a teacher by others who want to enter this field or develop their skills further.
We have had excellent feedback from our clients since we started and that inspired Beth to study for a PhD. She is researching why this work is so effective in the School of Life Science at Edinburgh Napier University. This makes our programme unique in that all our work is backed by sound science and growing collection of data about our programme's effectiveness. We are always delighted to share the results with clients and those interested in our work. Essentially, our statistics show that those attending our programmes learn a lot, remember it, apply it - and enjoy themsleves along the way.
We have included the horses in our research too. They are our willing partners and always enjoy the sessions but we are still keen to measure their response to that we can satisfy ourselves and our clients that our programme is as good for horses as it is for humans. We hope that this research will help to set standards for horse care and selection for EAL and also enable clients to ask pertinent questions about the horses when they are selecting an EAL programme.
What is EAL?
This is a recognised system of learning which uses a combination of activities and discussion to give individuals insight into their behaviour and their effect on others. Experiential learning is particularly beneficial for professional teams who may have adopted set patterns of interaction which need reappraising. EAL helps with non-verbal communication, assertiveness, creative thinking and problem-solving, leadership work, taking responsibility, teamwork and relationships, confidence, and attitude.
