The Eagala Model is so effective because it embraces the science that humans learn best by doing. The model prescribes a hands-on approach where clients are given the space to project and analyze their situations, make connections, and find their own solutions. 

• Client Centered

SkyHorse EGE Certified

Equine-Guided Education (EGE) uses experiential, somatic activities involving horses to create metaphors that reflect real life. EGE activities are generally non-directive, allowing for opportunities for people to problem-solve for themselves with guidance from the horses, and to be creative. EGE is solution-oriented and acknowledges the power of choice.
