Mission

E3A is an international professional membership organization offering training, certification, and resources for implementing Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) programs by educators, coaches, Professional Development trainers, and other facilitators. We provide the resources needed to promote and implement quality, successful, professional equine experiential education programs.

E3A certifies individuals, not facilities, as we believe that the learning takes place within the horse human connection.

The Foundation of Effective Facilitation with Horses:

Caring for Our Equine Partners

When we ask horses to partner with us in equine-assisted learning, we ensure that our equine partners can thrive at work and at rest. E3A supports members in learning to recognize each horse's individual needs and strengths and the relationships among the herd, to be mindful of those needs, stability, and affinities in every aspect of care, and to create beneficial experiences for humans and horses.

Testimonials

"Finding E3A was just the thing I knew in my heart I was looking for. Their program resonates with my beliefs and I found their openness to finding what works best for each person and/or business refreshing while always putting the horses well being first."

"What E3A has done for me is allowed me to make a lot of connections with people who have horses and use them in different ways to help benefit both individuals and teams and organizations. In my practice, that's allowed me to look at different ways that I can integrate appreciative inquiry into the use of horses to even expand that further. One of my goals for using E3A is to help students learn more through the use of horses and the use of appreciative inquiry to help them become more successful with whatever path they choose to go in college."

"What I loved most about the training was learning a proven method and hands-on training. Without both, I really don't think you can be an effective facilitator or truly understand the beauty of the work."

"E3A gave me a huge confidence boost in partnering horses with Corporate groups. The detailed facilitation training, horse activities, and templates were fantastic. Nothing was left uncovered. When I finished my certification, I knew the rest was up to me."

"I've been using the E3A model for about four years. I came to E3A by raffle – I won a membership! – and I was really excited about it. I decided to pursue it because of what I understood about E3A, which is that it was an outcomes-focused model. And I felt like the outcomes were missing in some of the other work that I had been doing."
