I did not know a horse could teach you to put others first.
I did not know a horse could remind you time and time again that your gut is always right.

MAKE 2017 THE YEAR FOR POSITIVE CHANGE
Over the next few months we are going to be starting some support groups. The aim of these groups is to be able to offer support and a safe place for people with similar challenges in life to meet talk and experience the therapeutic pleasures of being around horses. We are looking at a Depression Group and a Living with Long Term Illness Group. We will open our gates for 2 hours same day each week for each group so make a coffee and join in a chat with others in or around the stables. If anyone would like more information please message us or wait for the posters with more information on to be sent out.

How often do you sit at home and wish someone would ring you and suggest, well anything rather than these 4 walls? How many of you have had a night out planned, or arranged coffee with friends and suddenly "these 4 walls" seem the only safe haven because it's the only place you don't have to pretend you are ok, so you cancel. Or when you are invited out you tell them how terribly sorry you are but you're already booked up that weekend, when you are actually just really busy holding it together in your safe box. And so the first problem starts, all by itself. People stop asking you and the isolation that at first wasn't true becomes your only truth.
Please don't give up on your friends. Ring them, go round, even when they don't want you to. Because they really do they just don't know how to say it.
Everyone says: "If you need anything, don't hesitate. I'll be there for you ".
I'm going to make a bet, without being pessimistic, that out of my Facebook friends that less than 5 will take the time to put this on their wall to help raise awareness of and for those who have mental health difficulties. You just have to copy it from my wall and paste it to yours (hold down on my post and you will be given the option to copy... then go to your status and hold down to paste)
Mental Health Awareness

As a counsellor I've known this for a long time but its good to see it getting some backing

Childhood trauma leads to lifelong chronic illness — so why isn’t the medical community helping patients? When I was twelve, I was coming home from swimming at my neighbor’s dock when I saw an ambulance’s flashing lights in our driveway. I still remember the asphalt burning my feet as I stood, paralyze…

This is an interesting read and shows the diversity of equine assisted therapy and difficulties and break throughs experienced by participants.
