4-Legged Therapy
“All I pay my psychiatrist is the cost of feed and hay, and he’ll listen to me any day.” ~Author Unknown
Everything I know about myself I have learned from a horse.
If I was harsh, he softened me.
If I was wrong, he showed me who was right.
If I was impatient, he slowed me down.
If I was arrogant he taught me humility.
If I was stagnate, he kept me moving…
The horse has a way of carrying us in more ways than we will ever know.
They have an uncanny ability to comfort us when we are down. Even when we are down because we have fallen off, they give us “that” look! That look that says, I don’t know how you ended up down there, but get back up and it will be ok! 
JJ talks about the love that we have for them being (as she likes to quote Mr. Spock) completely illogical. But I think the more amazing thing is the love and comfort they give to us when we need it. It’s not illogical, it’s magical.
Every person, young or old, should have the opportunity to experience the thrill of the horse, feel his muzzle on the back of your hand searching for a treat and learn the lessons he is willing to share.
“There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.” ~Winston Churchill
