Experiencing learning processes during Horse Assisted Education
What is my observation?What I experience?Is it my own process?Is it participant or group process?
Or both?
Observation:
Work in atmoshpere of silence
No comments in the bigger group
Very litte space for experimenting, at least at the beginning
Silent people
Possible learning processes:
Facilitator:
Is there any process? Things are going good way?
Participants:
Development experience opens new shifts in psyche, words are not avaiable for themExperiencing something very personalNormal state for introvertic people
?
Observation:
Fear to admit that you can learn from horses
Abracadabra with horses?
Resistance to learn from horses

Do not talk about themselves much
They are not suprised with horse behaviour
Expect their participants to talk about themselves
People talking only about horses
Possible learning processes:
Facilitator:Ethical dilemma at the TTT, people refuse to work themselves, but are very enthusiastic about making other people work…
Participants:Using horses to talk about themselves – projectionTrying to stay in comfort zonesTrying to reach the development experience through other people
Observation:
Looking for answer by facilitators
Looking for answer in their minds
Looking for clear rules and intruction to avoid more chaos
People who experience
chaos inside themselfes
Possible learning processes:

Hope, that „the new” will survive

Seeing new possibilities activates reorganization of old psychic structuresChanging belifes about themselves, other people, the word
