Jean,
I encourage you to continue ondoing your riding lessons. Develop a
curriculum, plan or style, or use someone elses theraputic riding
lesson to provide a structured lesson plan with your clients. If you
provide an emotionally and phisically safe environment for your
clients, and have respect for your limitations and boundaries, as well
as provide professional service, you can acomplish great success
without a therapist. I am not opposed to working with licensed
therapists and counselors and do so on a regular basis, but I also
work on my own (EAL) and this work also provides fantastic results.
Good luck
Bob
