| Friday, March 12, 2010 | From 10:00am till 1:30pm, 9 residents and 9 staff and interns enjoyed the healing effects of interacting with horses at WindyRidge Thoroughbreds. We all learned about communication, teamwork, and handling challenges. The horses, obstacles, and situations encountered in the exercises provided metaphors for difficulties faced by individual residents. Most could point out a time when they could relate to what the horse must have been going through. Interns indicated that they had also learned something about themselves, and better ways to help others as a result of the experience. |
