Sarasota Manatee Association for Riding Therapy Adventures in Learning

SMART’s Adventures in Learning Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) program provides for a positive educational learning opportunity, through respectful partnerships with horses, that carries over into the students’ traditional classroom experiences. The EAL activities use horses not as tools, but as active partners that help to facilitate the learning experience for the human participants. This program also focuses on promoting leadership skills, social skills and the initiation of relationships based on empathy and respect.
