Equine-Assisted Therapy
Both the Equine-assisted therapy (EAGALA), and the TA Method model, both also known as horse therapy, take a distinct approach to professional mental health and personal development based on the scientific concept that we learn best by doing.
Individuals are empowered through personal and physical experiences that are led by our certified facilitator. The hands-on approach combines personal experience with intellectual understanding, providing solutions that are deeper, more profound, and longer lasting.
The EAGALA model is an innovative, ethical set of best practices that builds on the human/horse connection to help people learn more about themselves and to use that learning to change their lives.

Benefits of teaming with horses for therapy

Benefits of teaming with horses for therapy
- Horses react to stimulus; they provide instant and honest feed back on how a person is feeling. They are considered living bio-feedback machines.
- Horses are non-judgmental, accepting a person as they are, at that particular time and day.
- Horses continuously evaluate their surroundings and the human with whom they are interacting. This provides an opportunity for the handler to develop leadership skills and to see the immediate response of positive body language on another being.
- This allows a certified facilitator to observe the non-verbal communication of the horse and translate the behaviour to guide the learner to the objective of the exercise.
- This style of learning greatly enhances the retention and understanding of learned skills, enabling the participant to transfer the learned skills into their everyday life.
