Episode 186: You don't need a therapy degree (but you do need this)
from Changing Lives With A Horse, (Of Course)! · host equineconnection
One of the biggest fears people have when exploring Equine Assisted Learning is, “Can I really do this if I’m not a therapist?” The answer might surprise you. In this episode, we break down the difference between facilitation and therapy, why those boundaries matter, and how staying in your lane actually creates better outcomes for both participants and horses. We’ll also talk about why structure, clear objectives, and a proven framework are far more important than having a therapy designation when it comes to creating meaningful learning experiences. If you’ve ever worried that you’re “not qualified enough” to help others through horse-guided learning, this conversation is for you.
