Howdy Folks,
Healing Through Horses |
Healing Through
Horses is a sanctuary of learning, growing, healing and loving. Located on a
small ranch in Abiquiu New Mexico Judy Schneider LISW, offers programs
dedicated to healing the human spirit through horses. Whether it be a family
who is distraught due to their immense love and concern they have for their
child, an adult who is at a crossroads and seeks a new path so they may live
with abundance and integrity, or a teenager who is not sure what the fuss is
all about and does not understand how each thought leads to a choice, which
leads to the life they will create for themselves, all can find a new way at
Healing Through Horses.
Understanding Eyes |
Judy's trust in
the healing power of the horse was formed at an early age. As a young girl she
and a wonderful mare, Go-Go Girl would frolic the hills, fields and meadows
together. Go-Go Girl taught Judy much about understanding one's self,
communicating and loving life. Judy credit's Go-Go Girl with forging the very
foundations of her life's held beliefs that horses can and will heal broken
souls.
Founding Healing
Through Horses, was a dream of Judy's ever since her days as a graduate student
at Boston University studying to become a social worker. As a social worker she
spent years counseling abused and neglected children, adoptees and their
families, chronically mentally ill adults, poly-substance abusers, combat
veterans and military families facing deployment, trauma and suicide. In
addition, as a probation and parole officer she has worked with violent and
sexual offenders. Today her dream, and Go-Go Girls teachings are a reality, and
with the help of the healing spirit of horses, she is able to add a new
dimension to healing and counseling.
Judy has
developed a variety of programs, all centered around the healing powers of the
horse's spirit. Equine Assisted Counseling, empowers children, teens adults,
couples and families to overcome barriers to personal growth and development.
