The EAGALA Model

This short video documents my experience of the Eagala model and explores the role of horses in emotional healing. Experiencing this process first-hand informed how Stephen and I deepened Abbey’s character, and how her first meeting with Nightshade is written as a moment of safety, connection, and recovery.
