- Equine Facilitated Learning Groups: Our EFL services include horsemanship education as a metaphor to teach life skills, communication skills, team work, leadership, and self direction, and to foster self esteem, self confidence, and self awareness. Students engage in horse activities and other farm oriented activities (chickens, horticulture, chores, woodworking, etc.) within a group setting.
