What is the Eagala Model?
About Us
Equine assisted therapy offers the opportunity for participants to encounter and flourish in a reflective, honest and relational context. Meaningful and abiding relationships are created with their horses, and this helps build confidence and develop skills.
These milestones are transferrable to relationships with humans such as friends and family. This process is an essential step to recovery for participants struggling with mental health issues.

Solution Oriented
The EAGALA Model firmly believes that the participants have solutions to all their issues and questions if they are given the opportunity to discover them.
Focused on the ground
There is no riding or horsemanship. All activities with the horses are unmounted. Participants are given specific and deliberate activities with the horses on the ground, based on the treatment goals. The interaction becomes a metaphorical learning system.
