As Eagala practitioners, we talk about informed consent at intake, but what does it actually look like in the arena? In this Eagala Education Hour, we explored informed consent as an ongoing, relational practice at the heart of the Eagala Model. From client autonomy and meaningful choice to horse welfare and participation, this session examines how consent is modeled, reinforced, and respected in real time. What happens when a horse does not want to engage? How do we normalize choice for clients? How does consent show up within the professional team? Join us for a dynamic panel conversation that moves beyond paperwork and into lived ethical practice.
