EAGALA is committed to setting the standard of professional excellencein how horses and humans work together to improve the quality of life and mental health of individuals, families and groups worldwide.
Incorporating horses for growth and learning is an experiencial modality. This means that participants learn about themselves and others by participating in activities with the horses, and then processing or discussing thoughts, beliefs, behaviours and patterns. Throughout the experiencial learning process, the participant is actively engaged in posing questions, investigating, experimenting, being curious, solving problems, assuming responsibility, being creative and constructing meaning.
Based on the feedback from our membership and from our experience of training over the years, this certification structure was developed to accomplish this vision.
This program certifies professionals in the EAGALA Model of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and Learning. Certification ensures that practitioners have completed training and skill requirements in effective and ethical practice, participate in ongoing learning and education, and uphold a high standard of care.
