Perks Family Equine Center · Rockford, IL
Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) programs teach social, emotional, and life skills through equine partnership. Experiential learning and human-horse connections in a natural environment promote new patterns of behavior and increased control of reactions, leading to lifelong learning for our participants. Groundwork activities with our equine partners help to teach mindfulness, growth mindset, goal-focused thinking, and strong connections. These programs are beneficial for individuals and groups looking to build resiliency and improve their mental health and wellness through self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision-making, and relationship skills.
