EFL embraces the philosophy that humans learn best by doing.

Retreats
We are based in a beautiful part of the world and it’s worth staying in the area for a few days and joining us for a short program of EFL (Equine Facilitated Learning). These can be tailored to suit your budget, time restrictions and learning requirements and allow you to fully immerse yourself in personal growth and development. Clients have found our retreats deeply therapeutic, grounding and calming; always taking away a great deal of self-learning.
We’re located between Sheffield and Manchester with good train links to both cities along the Hope Valley line. We are just a 5 minute walk from Edale train station. You can find a list of local accommodation on our page about Edale.
Who is it for?
Adults seeking personal growth and development in a private and confidential space. Individuals or small groups are welcome.
Family Visits
What is it?
An hour visit for a group or family, a chance to meet the horses and have an introduction to Equine Facilitated Learning and Equine Assisted Sensory Sessions
Who is it for?
Families visiting Edale for a holiday are able to experience the benefits that our horses have to mental health and enjoy a fun activity. Sometimes families wish to visit for an introduction before deciding on a course of EFL/EASS sessions. We also have families who wish to visit regularly as a chance to connect together and take part in an activity to boost mood and well-being.
