The Eagala Model is a client-centered approach that allows you to experience and sit with whatever comes up during your session in the space with the horses. Feelings and thoughts come to you as you engage with the horses and can open new understandings in your life.By nature, horses do not judge or interpret.The horses’ unique sensitivities and special capacity to read and respond to your non-verbal cues can lead you to powerful insights.

How it works
The Eagala Model involves no riding and is ground-based. It does not require clients to have any previous experience with horses. This creates an emotionally and physically safe environment and enhances the accessibility of the treatment, as the horses and clients are each unencumbered and free to interact. It requires nothing of the horse except to be a horse, and nothing of the client except to be present.
It asks nothing of the horse except to be a horse, and nothing of you except to be present and willing to explore. While working with horses can seem daunting, the environment is structured to foster a life-changing experience, encourage engagement with the horses while remaining physically and emotionally safe. This is why there is an Eagala Certified professional team of Equine Specialist and Mental Health Professional in all sessions, ensuring that high standards of practice, ethics and safety are upheld.
