Our Approach

The Eagala team approach is a professional mental health model. It is not recreational horsemanship, riding lessons, or therapeutic riding and does not involve riding at all. The Eagala Model is a psychological framework based on sound theoretical principles led by a licensed Mental Health Professional. Your therapist is responsible for creating, with your support, a treatment plan and providing for your emotional safety. Your Equine Specialist co-facilitates with your therapist, and helps oversee physical and emotional safety of the horses and everything in the environment. Your intake interviews and progress notes are reviewed by the team so they can create the session in the way that best serves your goals. Treatment sessions are structured to focus on your goals, and the environment is set up in preparation to facilitate the best outcome for you. Delivering life-changing outcomes in a safe, non-judgmental environment

Find the answers you seek to change behaviors and make your life better. Find meaning and solutions to the problems that trouble you. The Eagala Model delivers life-changing outcomes. You already have all the answers you’re looking for.
