Painted Horse Experiential Learning
Empowering personal growth through connection with horses.
Reconnect with yourself, build healthier relationships, and live with more intention through guided, hands-on experiences with horses.
What is Equine Assisted Learning?
Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) is a powerful, experiential approach to personal development. It involves guided, hands-on interactions with horses designed to help you develop emotional awareness, self-regulation, and stronger life and relationship skills.
Through these experiences, you’ll explore how you relate to yourself and others, bring awareness to patterns that may no longer serve you, and learn new ways of being that feel more aligned, empowered and grounded.
The Value of Horses
Why horses?
Horses are deeply present, sensitive beings who respond honestly to how we show up- without judgement. In this way, they offer powerful feedback that can help you reconnect with your essence and shift how you move through life.
At Painted Horse, these sessions take place in a peaceful, natural environment, creating a space where awareness, growth and healing can unfold safely and authentically.
Our Services
At Painted Horse, we offer guided, non-riding equine-assisted sessions that support emotional healing, self-awareness, and personal growth. In partnership with our intuitive herd, we create a safe space for individuals, families, and groups to explore, reflect, and reconnect.

Testimonials
The heart of our work lives in the stories shared by those who have walked alongside our herd. Their experiences reflect the quiet power, healing, and insight that unfold in the presence of horses.
I was always safe and felt comfortable
From the time you drive up the long driveway into the valley where Fernanda and her 3 beautiful horses are, I felt relaxed, and the scenery is gorgeous.
The sessions that I had with Fernanda were always very welcoming and safe (even though I had a little fear of horses). Fernanda made sure I was always safe and felt comfortable around the horses. She was able to help me overcome that fear and guided me to deal with my communication and emotional issues. The connection Saucy had with me was one I will always remember, he was there and listened to me and showed concern when I got teary, I was very blown away by how much the horses can teach us and what I learnt from that.
I highly recommend Equine Assisted Learning for Fernanda’s caring nature and her experience with horses.

Opening for Awareness
I found the activities that I was invited to participate in with the herd to be such an opening for awareness, feelings, boundaries, thoughts and allowed the difficulties I’ve faced this year to be explored, observed and discussed as facilitated by the herd either as a trio or as individuals…..
I took away so many lessons; I found Poppy to be a consistently wise girl whose language and lessons were clear and consistent each week. They will resonate with me forever….
I now feel that I have more life skills in my arsenal to tackle life’s challenges whilst being aware of my thoughts and feelings; moving forward with my ‘yes’ and my ‘no’ and expressing my feelings as they arise and showing joy when I feel it! Oh, and regularly offering myself an out breath, just as the horses do.”

Quiet Presence
Working with Fernanda has helped me learn more about myself and find strategies to use in difficult situations. I always feel heard, understood and very supported during our sessions together.
