  Scenario training for the brain


EQUINE ASSISTED LEARNING TRAINING 

Traditional scenario training is costly and time-consuming. It requires significant resources in terms of personnel, equipment, and time. Some facilities have computer generated simulation which can cover events but not the conscious engagement of the situation. The stress level are subconsciously but not consciously reflecting real-world conditions. Virtual reality scenarios lack the real-world conscious experience of personal safety. Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) takes any scenario timeline and engages the conscious concern for personal safety, the mindset of; am I safe, and the subconscious overreacting to a concern about safety. 


 The subconscious  works independently and dependently with the conscious part of the brain. The subconscious controls body functions we do not need to think about (independent). The subconscious also depends on the information coming from the mindset on any issues of one’s safety. The subconscious will not distinguish between what the mindset thinks and the information the conscious is taking in from the environment. That is why if we think (mindset) we could be in danger, or are connecting the present with a past event, the subconscious focus is self-preservation.  

In EAL scenario training officers work with the horses form the ground. It is this positions that horses can make us feel venerable. This thought fully engages the conscious, mindset and subconscious parts of the brain to the fact “I could get hurt.” It is this kind of class that teaches the experience of adrenaline overload, recognizing it and stopping it before you lose all sense of protocol.  


EAL Scenario Training 

 The conscious part of the brain filters information from the world around it. Am I safe, and any other needs and wants. The mindset decides how safe we are. If the mindset questions the safety factor of the environment the subconscious activates self-preservation. This is when tunnel vision occurs, and situation become volatile. Being able to control that instinct and make it a response to the situation is vital for the best positive outcome.


What is an EAL scenario? It is taking everyday objects, labeling them, and leading the horse past them without the horse stopping or breaking protocol.  


EXAMPLE 

A ball (conscious), labeled a gun (mindset), The subconscious believes it is a gun.  

The Brain 

Mindset labeled GUN 

Conscious knows BALL 

Subconscious believes GUN 

Reality or  Fantasy 

    Ball         Gun 

If the horse is moving away from the ball the subconscious is reacting to the thought of a GUN not the reality of a ball.
