Equine Assisted Learning and Counselling
Burrden Acres Equine Assisted Learning and Counselling has incorporated horses to assist clients with a variety of personal needs. This is an experiential treatment approach that involves horses, a registered EAL professional, with the option of a certified counsellor, and clients who partakes in hands-on equine activities.
These activities do not include or incorporate horseback riding. Burrden Acres offers an ‘out-of-office’ and 'on-the-land' environment for clients, allowing them to feel less confined to discuss their day-to-day struggles; or just simply discuss their hardships, past or present.
Burrden Acres has organized their programming surrounding the Seven Grandfather
Teachings, as well as the historical Medicine Wheel.
