I am raising money for Black Horse Spirit Mental Health Counseling because I believe strongly that horses are excellent partners in mental health counseling. I have seen amazing relationships develop between clients and the horses at Black Horse Spirit that are just the kind of relationship that particular client needs to heal. In developing a relationship with a horse, a client can safely develop healthier skills that can then be utilized in all their relationships. In developing the relationship with the horse, the client’s approach to many of their relationships is demonstrated; therefore, important client issues come up to be worked through in this setting that may never come up in the therapist’s office. Healing happens in relationship, and healing happens at Black Horse Spirit with trauma-focused equine-assisted psychotherapy.
