The extraordinary healing powers of horses are one of the most successful ways to battle the struggles of mental illness.

Lynn Thomas is a licensed clinical social worker. She is also the co-founder of Horses For Mental Health.

Lynn Moore is a licensed therapist and founder of Acres For Life. 

The two Lynns have championed “horse therapy” for decades.

On a personal note, I share a story of how a horse saved the life of my father during an encounter with an armed man.

October 3rd through October 10th is Mental Illness Week, but take care of your mental health throughout the year.
