Leading nonprofit global association for professionals providing equine-assisted psychotherapy.
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.

Something many people don’t realize:
Major donors and foundations often ask, “Do your own members support the organization?”
That’s why your gift — even a modest one — matters so much.
It shows the world that Eagala’s community believes in this work.
To everyone who has already given: THANK YOU. 💚
To those still thinking about it: even $25 has true impact.
Help us end the year strong:

💙 Reno holds special memories for our Eagala community.
We’re thrilled to return for a Fundamentals Training March 25–29, hosted by LEAD with Horses.
To borrow a line from the uber talented George Strait, "Baby, write this down. Take a little note," and be sure it's written in your lovely hardcover Eagala notebook.
Whether working on the lyrics to a song, brainstorming names for that brand new foal, or taking notes during January's Eagala Education Hour, this handy resource will inspire your inner wordsmith.
It features 80 lined, cream-colored pages, a built-in elastic closure, and a matching ribbon page marker. Plus, the expandable inner pocket is perfect for storing loose notes and business cards (like the one the you got from the new farrier -- and we know you don't want to lose that!).
Our very first published research paper is out — and it’s just the beginning. 📚✨
With your help, 2026 can be the year we publish even more peer-reviewed research to elevate the Eagala Model’s credibility worldwide.
Huge thanks to those who have already given! Your support fuels this important work.
If you can, please consider a year-end gift (even $25 makes a difference). Together, we can give Eagala practitioners stronger validation and a louder voice in the mental health field.

⚡ Skillsets are filling fast across the 2026 calendar — don’t miss Crestview!
March 5–7 at Healing Hoofsteps, exclusively for certified Eagala professionals.
Now, we can probably agree that our horses are sweeter than anything else dipped in chocolate. And we might agree that chocolate... with sprinkles and marshmallows are extra special. But actually putting all that on a horse? Yeah, we'd likely agree that wasn't cool at all. So, rest assured, that we didn't do this for realsies. Nope, not a chance! The Eagala staff was just having some fun with ChatGPT. It's an AI-generated image, folks. 😉 Hope your Chocolate Covered Anything Day is as sweet as can be!

Imagine training that feels like a vacation.
Our Costa Rica Fundamentals Training (Feb 18–22) blends experiential learning with tropical landscapes, warm breezes, and pura vida inspiration.
'Tis the season -- for hot coffee, hot chocolate, and even hot water with a slice of lemon and maybe a bit of honey. (Wasn't that your grandmother's cure for arthritis?) We digress. Raise the handle of this 11 oz. ceramic mug and raise a Monday morning toast to the day ahead. May your morning (and afternoon) be filled with the good work of equine-assisted psychotherapy. Espresso yourself, Eagala style!
