Program Structure

Our programs are based on the researched and proven success of The Academy of Equine Assisted Learning’s Building BlockTM curriculum. Brumby Life Skills Facilitators are certified by Equine Connection International and accredited by The Academy of Equine Assisted Learning. Each program has a specific objective which can be tailored to meet your individual, group or company goals.

Facilitation

A facilitator guides you and your group through the set obstacle courses, with the intent to assist not teach. Groundwork tasks, with our supportive and calm horses, provide opportunities for self -guided, experiential learning. Individuals or groups need to work through tasks in the program – where the horse is your team mate. Participants need to learn to observe and adjust their feelings and behaviours – which are valuable life skills for home, work and group environments.

Why Horses?

Horses make learning fun, engaging, and uniquely challenging. Horses are great teachers because they…

  • Constantly react to stimulus by the participant
  • They don’t judge
  • They don’t lie or overthink motives
  • Are sensitive and instinctive
  • Use body language to provide honest and instant feedback
  • Work on herd based trust, respect and teamwork
  • Work on leadership traits not force
  • Magnify an individual’s problem immediately – all 400kg+!
  • Provide the forum for powerful self-reflection and learning.

Horses + Objective-Based tasks + Effective Facilitation + Experiential Learning = Positive Change
