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.

Classic, comfy, and built for you and your herd! 🐴 Eagale Model program providers and facility managers know that these tees make great gifts for the whole crew. The Eagala logo tee pairs well with jeans, barn boots, or layers.
Suggestion: When you're wearing yours, get someone to snap a pic and then share it on your social media accounts. It's yet another way to convey to the world your respect for and love of the Eagala Model.

Fundamentals Training
📍 Kilcloon, Ireland from June 3–7, 2026
In June, YOU could be in Ireland sending a postcard almost word-for-word like this one:
"Greetings from County Meath, Ireland! I’m not sure which is more unforgettable – this Fundamentals Training or the quality and personalities of all the people that I’ve met. These Irish folks – they are friendly, enthusiastic, and fast learners! The MH and ES teams are learning side by side, deepening their understanding of the Eagala Model while building lasting connections. The idyllic setting adds a sense of calm and inspiration to every day. Don’t laugh – but I honestly expect to see a leprechaun grinning at me from behind a stump or bush! You can’t imagine how lucky I feel to get to partake of this training and this experience. I WISH you had registered to do this training with me -- it's been amazing!!!"

Let’s be honest…
Some of us tune in for the football.
Some for the snacks.
And some of us are really just waiting for the horses. 👀🐴
From the Super Bowl’s famous Clydesdales to the powerful horses who partner with us in the Eagala Model, we know one thing to be true: horses have a way of stopping us in our tracks and reminding us what matters.
Here’s to strength, teamwork, connection (and more than a little bit of equine magic) on the biggest game day of the year.
