About Us
Who we are
Hi, we are the Ryan family! Myself (Samantha) along with my husband Cody, and our 2 children Brynlee and Benjamin! I've grown up in and around Cranbrook the past 20 years, and horse's are my passion- specifically equine therapy. I started this journey a long time ago, with my own mental health journey. Now, after my own previous experiences with EAL I knew this is something that I had to share with the rest of the world. It's tough to explain, but the effect it had on me was life changing. My hope, is that it will do something similar for you.

Where we started
The program was created by Gayle and Janice at Cartier Farms alongside with professors and teachers from the University of Saskatchewan. I was fortunate enough to be able to go to Prince Albert and complete the training process. I chose this program because it is the only program of its type recognized by the provincial governing body, the Saskatchewan Horse Federation. The curriculum, commonly referred to as the ‘EAL Formula’, is considerably different from almost any other equine guided program because of its comprehensive and progressive approach to skill development
