Equine Assisted Learning Case Study

Decent Essays
Jean Louis identified that a life skill he wished to work on during the equine assisted learning (EAL) was to be respectful. During the experiential learning Jean–Louis could begin to identify with his physical energy levels, but practically he could not see or recognise the horse's energy responses. The holiday program focused on Jean-Louis’s physical energy levels and it is evident he would benefit from further learning to address his physical, social, emotional and relationship energy levels. I recommend he participates in some family focused EAL to assist him in his change of living and family support arrangements. I suggest he reviews and reflects on the video footage to empower his self modelling skills. Encourage Zelna to complete a

    I rode horses for most of my childhood, and at one point, I even owned my own horse. I trained this horse, making us inseparable. Most weekends, I rode bright and early into the mountains, without returning until near dark. Being in the complete solitude of nature with my horse became a favorite pastime for me. Yet now, after moving and leaving my companion behind, I rarely experience that isolation and peace.…

It was Halloween, and I was ready to conquer the neighborhood.

However, it was not the language barrier that was of utmost concern. Shortly before I moved to the country, my father became strangely ill. By the time I started attending college his health was still not improving, and no doctor was able to diagnose him correctly.…

    There has also been research conducted on the effects of Animal-Assisted therapy among young children and preschool children in school. Janlongo et al (2004) and Gee et al (2007) both looked at how the role of therapy dogs helped children’s learning in the classroom. However Gee et al (2007) specifically looked at how the role of therapy dogs in helping children with their speed and accuracy in completing motor skill tasks.

    I’ve realized in my lifetime that saddling a horse that you are going to ride is not as natural of an act to other people as it is to me. Since the moment I had both the strength and height to lift my own tiny saddle up to the back of my animal, I was saddling by myself. These days in the time that I set aside to ride, I don’t even think about the act of saddling, I could almost finish the act blindfolded. In my realization that not all people know how to saddle a horse and if they have an idea it may not be the proper way, I decided to share my knowledge in this area with others.…
