Local Authorities, schools, and organisations are warmly invited to attend a free demonstration of
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy & Learning (EAP/L) - an evidence based, experiential approach
supporting children’s emotional wellbeing during the critical transition from primary to secondary
school.

About the Demonstration

This live demonstration showcases how Equine Assisted Psychotherapy & Learning supports children through key periods of change by developing emotional awareness, confidence, and resilience. Unlike traditional interventions, EAPL is experiential and ground-based, taking place alongside horses in a calm, outdoor, non-judgemental environment.
The approach supports:

• Emotional regulation and resilience
• Confidence and self belief
• Anxiety reduction during transition
• Engagement for children who struggle with traditional methods.

No riding is involved and no previous experience with horses is required.

Who Should Attend

• Local Authority education, SEND, inclusion, and wellbeing teams
• SENCOs and pastoral leads
• Early Help and SEMH practitioners
• Organisations supporting children with SEND, anxiety, or transition needs.
