Horses Healing Grief, by Michael Dawson
New Product!
Horse Sense is pleased to add this excellent resource by Michael Dawson to the Horse Sense store. Read more about it, and be sure to get a copy if you don't already own it!
In this book, Michael Dawson introduces you to the needs of grieving children and proposes equine assisted activities that can help meet those needs. He also assumes that adults who care for grieving children should not be forgotten. In fact, the success of the grief work of children depends heavily upon the cues they get from the adults who care for them. So, this book also proposes activities to help the adults help the children, while helping themselves. Michael Dawson's prayer is that families will come to honor grief as a natural, normal process, and that when it is embraced, they mind find health and hope.

Walking the Way of the Horse
Since time eternal horses have walked beside us, helping to s
hape our destinies, taking us on journeys of the soul, and offering as a gift their power, mystique and beauty. Mental health professionals and educators alike have begun to formally acknowledge the emotional, mental and physical benefits that humans can receive by spending time with horses. In the U.S. alone, there are already more than 900 programs that offer therapeutic or educational programming provided in partnership with horses.
Leif Hallberg has extensively researched the field of Equine Facilitated Mental Health and Educational Services, and Walking the Way of the Horse reveals the many ways horses can help humans. Begin exploring the power of the horse human relationship, today!
Research Dissertation on Effectiveness of EAP
In THE EFFICACY OF EQUINE ASSISTED GROUP COUNSELING WITH AT-RISK CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS,
Dr. Kay Trotter compared and contrasted the experiences of youngsters who
participated in a 12-week equine assisted therapy program with those
who remained in a classroom setting for traditional counseling. In a
nutshell, the results proved what we’ve seen unfolding daily in our
practices – horse therapy cuts through the clutter, and gets authentic
results.
