Anne, Have you
considered talking to a therapeutic riding center to see about using their horses
in your program? It is something I would do if asked, but I can’t speak
for other centers. Also there might be a nearby horse training facility that
might be a resource.
I have the
opposite problem, the horses, the background, and can’t get the professionals
to consider EAP! I hope by hosting a training that it will show the community how
effective horses are in therapy. I am sure they have kept me sane ( if I cam that
at all!) or have they driven me wacko?! <big Grin>

Treatment center has utilized our services for some at risk kids, but not with
their counselors, but more of an activity for them. I think so many are afraid
of horses and so they don’t understand the power of a horse to change
lives.
