This six week program gives youth the chance to strengthen confidence, resilience, and emotional wellness through Equine Assisted Learning (EAL). Grounded in the Cartier Farms Building Block™ curriculum, sessions build progressively to develop social, emotional, and cognitive skills that transfer into school, sports, and everyday life. Through guided, non riding interactions with horses, participants practice trust, emotional regulation, problem solving, teamwork, and healthy boundaries while receiving real time feedback that supports communication, leadership, and decision making in a safe, non judgmental setting. Over the six week progression, youth explore trust and empathy in relationships, build essential equine skills such as safety, haltering, pressure and release, and tying quick release knots, and deepen self awareness and confidence in team dynamics. Activities encourage patience, collaboration, and practical decision making, while the final sessions focus on body language, presence, and authentic connection. By the end, participants carry forward transferable skills that strengthen school performance, peer relationships, and everyday interactions.
