Animal Assisted Learning

At Riverdance, we believe in the transformative power of animals to enrich human lives, foster learning, and promote emotional and psychological well-being.

Our unique approach to assisted learning and therapy utilises the innate capabilities of our equine and canine companions to create a supportive, engaging, and healing environment for individuals of all ages.

Our Services

Equine Assisted Learning (EAL)

Our Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) programme is designed to support personal development and growth through experiential learning activities with horses. EAL sessions are facilitated by our team of experienced equine specialists and are tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each participant. Whether it’s building confidence, enhancing communication skills, or fostering emotional intelligence, our horses provide a mirror to our behaviour and offer invaluable lessons in a non-judgmental and supportive setting.

Horses Helping Humans ™ is specifically designed to deliver equine-assisted life coaching and education to those with mental health issues, the disadvantaged and disengaged. The program objectives are to help participants develop healthy boundaries, communication skills, assertive body language and emotional regulation. This program is also very powerful for corporate training, family workshops and team building. The life skills learnt in this program can help anyone.

Our therapy dogs bring the joy and comfort of canine companionship to educational and therapeutic settings. Our specially trained therapy dogs and their handlers work together to provide emotional support, reduce anxiety, and promote positive social interactions.
