Equine Assisted Human Development

Unless we are challenged and encouraged to develop new behaviours we will rarely make lasting changes. Discovering the answers for ourselves is the most powerful and effective way to learn new ways of being and making improvements in our lives. Equine Assisted Human Development allows people to practice and develop new behaviours in a safe, controlled therapeutic environment. Interaction with the horses and processing with the therapy team can lead you to stronger, more positive ways of relating. www.changinghorses.co.nz/

EAGALA

Enriching Every Life Through Horses!

Kapiti Equestrian & Vaulting Centre in partnership with Changing Horses utilises the EAGALA (Equine Assisted Growth & Learning Association) model as a foundation for its programmes.
EAGALA was founded in 1999 as a non-profit organisation developed to address the need for resources, education and professionalism in the fields of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and Equine Assisted Learning.  EAGALA has now grown to over 3,500 members in 38 countries, with regional coordinators helping support members and networking groups in EAGALA Europe/Middle East, EAGALA Africa, EAGALA LatinoAmerica, EAGALA Pacific, and EAGALA U.S./Canada. 

Together means everything.
