Hillview Equine Assisted Learning (HEAL) is an experiential type of therapy utilising the unique traits of horses to address the special emotional and mental health needs of children.
HEAL is based on concepts used in the American EAGALA Model (Equine Assisted Growth & Learning Association), techniques applied in Hippotherapy (using equine movement as a tool), clinical research into the effectiveness of Equine Therapy and personal observation and experience of the positive results of human-equine interaction.
HEAL aims at providing children the opportunity to develop a genuine connection with other creatures; horses in particular. Through these interactions HEAL seeks to assist children to grow in confidence and boost self-esteem.
HEAL teaches mindfulness, communication and problem solving skills in a safe and non-threatening environment. Children are given the opportunity of key “take-away” experiences, which can begin to make lifelong positive changes in their lives.
