The Equine-Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA)

The Equine-Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA) is a professional organization that promotes using horses to help people improve their mental health and personal development. EAGALA’s approach involves guided interactions between clients and trained horses, facilitated by licensed therapists and equine specialists. This method helps individuals build skills such as trust, confidence, communication, and emotional regulation through experiential activities. EAGALA’s goal is to foster healing and growth in a safe, supportive environment by leveraging the natural, intuitive nature of horses as partners in the therapeutic process.
