Children everywhere are rejoicing! School is officially out and summer is finally here! Many of these kids are busy packing their trunks and will soon be on the road to summer camp. I have so many fond childhood memories of the camp that I attended for two glorious weeks each summer that I just assumed every kid loved going to camp. Not the case. I have talked to several kids over the past few weeks that are dreading the experience.

Mondays may not always be my favorite day of the week, but I am certainly looking forward to next Monday. It will be a big day for me, my family and my practice. Why? Because a darling palomino gelding will be joining our herd.

I have received many requests for more examples illustrating how horses can be of benefit in the counseling process. So, here is another one! Of course, a few changes have been made to protect confidentiality.
