EQUINE-ASSISTED LEARNING (EAL) PROGRAMS;

     C.I.H.E.R.T. combines the beauty of the North with the narural teaching ability of the horse for the purpose of providing effective equine-assisted learning (EAL) experiential opportunities. What is EAL? Equine-Assisted Learning is an effective approach to human development through horsemanship. Participants engage in team emphasized exercises and fin themselves learning valuable skills in a fun and exciting atmosphere while working through the dynamics of horses. Equine-Assisted Learning can be a very powerful journey of facilitating participants learning alternative skills to draw from when faced with difficult challenges in an effort to overcome negative influences.

     This particular building block style of learning helps individuals better understand themselves as they participate in exercises designed around understanding the nature of "the horse". We call it "Using Horse Sense".

     When one has learned the fundamental principals of EAL, it is easy to understand why individuals with compromised moral values or ethical standards find it difficult, if not impossible, to keep their secrets hidden when they start to work through exercises with horses.

CORPORATE LEADERSHIP SKILLS SEMINARS AND WORKSHOPS:

     Equine-Assisted Learning is a powerful and effective approach that has an incredible impact on individuals and groups, families, corporate leaders, youth and adults. The focus of EAL is comprised of setting up activities involving horses which will require the individual or group to apply certain and specific skills. Non-verbal communication, assertiveness, creative thinking and problem solving, leadership skills, taking responsibility, teamwork and relationships, confidence and attitude are several examples of the means utilized and developed by Equine-Assisted Learning.

     If you are searching for innovative solutions to enhance your teams’ effectiveness, C.I.H.E.R.T. offers this revolutionary leadership development program to help individuals learn useful and life-changing leadership skills... skills that have the ability to influence the building of stronger businesses. Practice, assess, learn and develop a better understanding of your leadership skills by incorporating the wisdom of horses while helping your team effectively reach their goal.

LIFE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM SERIES:

     C.I.H.E.R.T. believes in taking pro-active measures and innovative strategies to better prepare the youth of today by empowering them with skills and support to conquer the negative influences that surround them. It is the Equine Centers goal to offer each participant the opportunity to work with love, care for and learn from horses... a dream come true for most!   C.I.H.E.R.T. offers this unique program of helping kids before they find themselves in trouble. This program in enhanced by life-skills lessons that focus on peer pressure, positive communication, problem solving, conflict resolution and other teen social needs. It also explores alternatives to participating in negative activities or behavior.

     The goal of equine-assisted learning is to provide hope and healing to kids (and adults) that suffer from substance abuse, behavioral issues, attention deficit disorder, eating disorders, physical, emotional or sexual abuse, depression, anxiety and relationship problems.

INDIVIDUAL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM SERIES:

     Uniquely designed equine-assisted program to develop customized learning experiences that focus on enhancing specific skills in participants with special needs.

     Participants that work through this program not only learn about themselves while learning how to develop a relationship with their horse but learn about their other team members. Some have even profited from the natural value of therapeutic benefits. Hippo therapy (using equine movement as a treatment strategy for people living with disabilities) has shown to improve muscle tone, balance, posture, coordination, motor development as well as emotional well-being. Whereas we do not employ or claim to be a physical or speech therapist, a number of individuals with special needs currently participating in these programs have exhibited notable improvement in the above described areas. Their own teachers from the Prince Albert School District along with Cartier's equine specialists have noted personal observations of numerous instances of communication (articulation) improvement, hand/eye coordination, expansion of emotional expression, balance and mobility.
