Recently, I had the unique opportunity to visit the Greater Edmonton area and participate as a guest in The Arabian Horse Literacy Reading Project.
I was able to take this special picture which captures a special bonding moment and shows the real interactions that were taking place.
The experience was magical as I participated in the learning activities and interacted with the Elementary students, the horses and the DONKEY who was a star !!
Below is the link to their Arabian Horse Reading website .
You can view a wonderful VIDEO called Reading with the Horses and there are also Research links to this Professional Research article-How Can Equine-Assisted Therapy Re- Pattern the Limbic System?
There are also 2 other links to articles that I have written called Equine -Assisted Learning-Healing with Horses as well as Praise versus Encouragement .
Enjoy!!
