New Book -"In My Mother's Hoofprints"

7/30/2012

Crimson Deed became a racing winner in 2012. She is shown here at 10 days old with her Champion Mother -Crimson Hue.

Sadly her mother died when this filly was 3 months old.
Crimson Deed's story of overcoming obstacles and growing up as an orphan is the inspiration for a new Children's Therapy Picture /Storybook written by
her Thoroughbred owner/ breeder Dr. Brenda E. Abbey.
This book will be of value as a therapy storybook as it relates to themes of loss, determination and the importance of Mother/ Baby attachment .
Crimson Deed has also been a therapy partner for children involved in Equine- Assisted Learning sessions facilitated by Dr. Abbey . Children interacted with Crimson Deed and marvelled at her story of dealing with being alone after her mother died.
Contact Dr. Brenda E. Abbey for more information.

I Dr. Abbey, I have recently been fortunate to find your site and really enjoy your information. I work as a equine assisted learning facilitator and see the wonderful affect of working with horses on myself and others. I look forward to your story book.

Hi Lois,
Thank you for your kind comments. As an Applied Researcher , as well as a Thoroughbred owner and Breeder , I am always interested in writing about brain- based ways to help children that can involve interaction with horses. I have researched the area of Developmental Attachment and have also found having the children interact with the horses and sharing the horse's story is great narrative therapy approach. The children are more willing to talk as well as they bridge their feelings with how they interpret what the horse or foals might be feeling. Attachment as well as dealing with challenges and poor self- esteem are very common issues in the child population I have worked with over the years.
I know my photographic Picture/ Storybook about Crimson Deed will be able to have wide Literacy and Therapy use with a variety of children.
I will send you a link to an article that I published on Biznik about the Healing Power of Horses.
Thanks again for your comments.

Hi Brenda, I'm trying to discuss equine assisted therapy for a friend's 3 daughters and everytime I type all the story and press SUBMIT, it never goes anywhere. I've tried 2 websites. This is the only one that worked. Can you contact me at my email address please. Thanks Pat

I did get your full emails with the story 4 times so everything is working. I have emailed you with information about Healing Hooves Therapy services near Cremona as well as a Women's Therapy discussion group involving horses. Hope this information helps.
