Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) Programs

Promise Landing Farm Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) Programs focus on teaching horsemanship skills while simultaneously building essential life skills such as communication, problem-solving, and emotional regulation.

EAL Program Benefits

Certified Facilitators

Our facilitators are certified Equine Specialists in Mental Health and Learning (ESMHLs) through PATH International. This ensures that each program is tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of every participant. Whether it's a one-time session or an ongoing series, our EAL programs are designed to foster personal growth and development.

Individual & Group Programs

In addition to individual participants, we collaborate with a variety of partner organizations, including Melwood, the Jude House, and Maryland Family Resource, to offer group programs. These partnerships allow us to extend our reach and impact, helping more people experience the therapeutic benefits of working with horses.

Develop Life Skills

Our EAL Programs are designed to promote personal growth and development by teaching essential life skills such as communication, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. Through hands-on interaction with horses, participants gain confidence, build self-awareness, and learn to navigate challenges effectively. These experiences foster resilience and empathy, empowering individuals to apply these skills in their everyday lives.

Testimonials

“I love volunteering at Promise Landing. I witness how interacting with horses empowers people, both with and without disabilities, to experience freedom, joy, and confidence in a unique and powerful way. Spending time with the riders, staff, and volunteers is truly inspirational.”

Mary - Promise Landing Farm Volunteer

“The first time I visited Promise Landing Farm, I felt such positive energy from the staff, the horses, and the volunteers. My son, who has autism, loves connecting with and riding the horses. The connection calms his spirit, and riding has helped build his confidence and independence in so many ways. I started volunteering, and it has become my true happy place. There is nothing like watching someone experience that special connection with a horse and seeing the smile and joy on their face.”
