Equine Specialist in Mental Health & Learning (ESMHL)

The Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning workshop is a three-day workshop which provides specialized training for equestrians who are interested in equine-facilitated mental health and/or equine-assisted learning programs.  This workshop is not designed to train educators or mental health professionals how to preform their role in equine-facilitated psychotherapy or equine-assisted learning sessions.

This workshop will be taught by some of the most experienced people in the field of equine-facilitated mental health and learning and will give the participants a chance to see what is current in the field.  Each course will be team taught by an equine professional in collaboration with a mental health professional working with several equines.  The workshop is a requirement of the ESMHL certification. It is beneficial to have horsemanship skills and experience when attending the workshop but it is not required. Horsemanship Skills Test: The skills test is held on day 4 following the ESMHL workshop.
