EQUINE-FACILITATED LEARNING: WHERE HORSES BECOME TEACHERS

TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCES THAT STICK

At Metaphorse, we don't just teach—we transform. Through Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL), we create profound "Aha!" moments that resonate long after you leave our ranch. 

WHY HORSES?

Horses are nature's perfect mirrors. They reflect our behaviors, emotions, and hidden patterns with startling clarity. In EFL: 

  • Horses become metaphors for life's challenges - early on, this fact became the inspiration for our healing center's name: Metaphorse
  • Your actions with horses reveal your real-world patterns - Interactions create lasting, experiential memories 


"We rescue horses who rescue people. In EFL, our equine partners become the catalysts for your personal revolution." - Jody Nixon, Founder 

WHO CAN BENEFIT?

EFL is for you if you've ever: 

  1. Struggled to set boundaries or say "No"
  2. Felt overwhelmed by your emotions
  3. Experienced fear of horses (or life's big challenges)
  4. Witnessed signs of PTSD in yourself or loved ones 

The clients we serve in this capacity are individuals seeking growth, families navigating challenges and even corporate teams striving for better dynamics and collaborational insights.

Our horses don't judge—they illuminate. They show you truths about yourself that words alone can't convey. 

WHY EFL AT METAPHORSE?

  1. Rescue and Renewal: Our horses have overcome their own traumas, making them uniquely qualified to guide you through yours.
  2. Experiential Power: EFL creates physical and emotional memories, ensuring lessons stick. 
  3. Safe Space for Big Changes: Here, it's safe to be vulnerable, to try new behaviors, and to fail forward.
