Equine Assisted Learning Near Knoxville, TN

Looking for Equine Assisted Learning near Knoxville? BellaSoul Farm is an easy, scenic drive south into the foothills of the Cherokee National Forest — close enough for a meaningful day away, far enough to feel like a true escape.

Our Root & Rein Equine Learning Center offers ground-based EAL for individuals, couples, families, teams, and organizations. There's no riding and no experience required — just structured, guided activities with horses that build confidence, communication, leadership, and connection.

Knoxville-area visitors come to us for all kinds of reasons: a personal reset, a couple's reconnection, a family looking to strengthen its bonds, or a workplace team building trust and collaboration in a setting that's nothing like a conference room. Our women's workshops are a favorite, too.

You'll find us on 88 peaceful acres in Tellico Plains, in Monroe County — roughly an hour or so from downtown Knoxville, and convenient to Maryville, Alcoa, Lenoir City, Loudon, and Vonore.

If you're in the Knoxville area and curious about Equine Assisted Learning, reach out. We'll help you choose the right program and find a time to visit. Equine Assisted Learning is personal growth and education, not clinical treatment.
