What are the differences between EAL and EAP?

Equine Assisted Learning, or EAL, is a form of skill-building education where participants work with a facilitator who acts as a guide, teacher, and/or coach, along with an equine partner to set and achieve goals. While EAL can provide positive wellness outcomes, it is not therapy.

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, or EAP, is a form of mental health service provided by a licensed mental health professional along with support from an equine partner and often an equine specialist.
