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 take on the responsibility of ensuring that our equine partners can thrive at work and at rest. E3A supports members in learning to recognize the individual needs and strengths of each horse, as well as the relationships among the herd, to be mindful of those needs, strengths, and relationships in every aspect of care, and to create experiences that are beneficial for humans and horses.
