WHY US

EQUINE FACILITATED LEARNING (EFL)

We offer children opportunities to work with Empowering Equine situated within two minutes from our farm house in the green hills of Cheshire, to make animal and horse therapy available to to all of our young people.

What is Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL)
EFL uses exercises and connection with horses to help people regulate their emotions and improve their quality of life, learning self-regulation and building self-confidence.

We work with children to help them improve the skills they need to cope and succeed in life. They work with the horses, the practitioners and, where appropriate, each other and access EFL to improve their mental health and wellbeing and learn skills such as:

  • Emotional and behavioural regulation
  • Building positive relationships and support systems
  • Communication and interpersonal skills
  • Teamwork
  • Resilience
  • Boundaries (their own and other peoples)
  • Self-awareness
  • Problem solving and critical thinking
  • Building self-esteem, confidence and empathy
  • Improving mental health and emotional wellbeing
  • Keeping more active
  • Improving confidence
  • Improved understanding of their mental health
  • Recognising and labelling emotions
  • Understanding of the link between emotions and behaviour and how they can influence this
  • Strategies to make better choices around their behaviour
  • Awareness of the impact of their behaviour on others
  • Improved ability to understand themselves and others
  • Improving their relationships with others
  • Ability to respond rather than react and many more skills

PETTING FARM

We also have a petting farm next door to our beautiful home allowing supervised young people to access the goats, sheep, llamas, horses and sheep dogs for therapeutic benefits. This is great for building skills such as confidence, resilience and relationship building helping young people develop these skills and then apply them to their day-to-day life with the aim of helping them build a better, more successful future, both in their personal and working lives.
