About

EAGALA is the leading nonprofit international association for professionals providing equine assisted psychotherapy and personal development.

Story

EAGALA Certification is The Global Standard for Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and Personal Development. Join the EAGALA Network of over 4,500 members in 50 countries who are changing lives through the unique intuitive power of horses.

Under The EAGALA Model, both a licensed, certified Mental Health Professional and a certified Equine Specialist work together collaboratively at all times to assure clients get the therapeutic attention and support they need as they make life changes.

The EAGALA Model is built on the premise that it's the client who best determines the kinds of life changes they need to make in order to improve their life. The job of the EAGALA treatment team is to put The EAGALA Model to work to meet the client's goals by engaging the sensitivity of horses to help them understand their process and practice the changes they want to make in a safe, supportive setting.

Because all EAGALA sessions are done on the ground - there is no riding involved - this work provides a growing opportunity for horses of all abilities to have a role and purpose. This amazing work benefits the lives of both the horses and humans. Through your support, we can continue to expand access to these services worldwide.
