Equine Assisted Learning: A Unique Approach

Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) is a hands-on method that uses the intuitive nature of horses to teach essential life skills. Through interactive exercises, participants engage in problem-solving activities that foster personal growth and improve communication, teamwork, and leadership skills.
Our mission is to empower individuals by harnessing the natural instincts of horses to provide honest feedback and challenge participants to develop stronger interpersonal skills. EAL is suitable for anyone seeking to enhance their confidence and relational abilities, regardless of prior horse experience.

Maud Revel

Certified Facilitator – Level IV

Maud has a lifelong passion for both teaching and horses. She began her career in 2008 teaching French and English to military personnel at Base Borden, later managing a team of teachers. Through this work, she witnessed the challenges of operational stress injuries and developed a deep interest in helping others heal and grow.

In 2015, Maud discovered Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) and knew it would be the next step in her journey. Having experienced firsthand the positive impact horses can have, she now helps others discover the incredible connection and support these animals provide.

Maud’s equestrian experience spans several countries. She has been a rider in France, a trail guide and riding school manager in Ireland, and a tour guide at Haras National du Pin in Normandy. She holds a Galop© 7 certification from France and Rider Level 8 in Canada.

Today, Maud combines her love of horses, education, and helping others to create meaningful, confidence-building experiences through Equine Assisted Learning.
