Story
Humans have long recognized the unique power of horses’ intuition and have been studying it for thousands of years, but it wasn’t until the last century that they began developing theories about equine-assisted therapies. Many people respond well to traditional talk therapy, but some (veterans, trauma survivors, troubled children and teens, and more) - gain insight by doing along with talking. Add to that the unique intuitive power of horses providing non-judgmental feedback, and clients report healing can happen much quicker with equine-assisted psychotherapy than with traditional therapeutic modalities.
approach
We incorporate horses into mental health treatment for people. As prey animals, horses respond to nonverbal messages, even unconscious ones, and their responses often remind clients of their goals, personal challenges, or relationships with themselves and others. This provides a safe environment to work through those relationships, where the horses only change when we do.
The Eagala Model is the global standard for equine-assisted psychotherapy and personal development, which incorporates horses’ unique intuition to help clients heal. Eagala provides training, certification, and support for equine specialists and mental health practitioners around the world.
