( aka, EAP, EAC, EAT,
HAT, EFP )
The Gypsy Horses of A Wizards
Spell Ranch in Burleson, Texas
have an exceptionally astute, sensitive, calm, smart, and loving
nature.
Because of this they provide immediate feedback.
If you are a member of our military suffering from PTSD, TBI, MST,
stress/anxiety, family issues,
stressed, unhappy, angry, feeling grief or lack of
self-esteem,
having personal or family issues, or work life issues,
the horses will provide you an opportunity
to develop insight into your particular challenge and take control of it.
Due to their ability to act a a biofeedback machine, you cannot
fool a horse.
Join other veterans, spouses, and their families
along with an Equine Specialist, Counselor, or peer-to-peer support
group and of course,
the Gypsy Horses to see if there can be a difference in your life.
For Doctors - Counselors
- Therapists
Again, this is NOT a riding program. It is a
mental health and learning program.
We welcome you to the world of Horse Supported
Counseling and therapy.
If you are unfamiliar with how this program works we would welcome an
opportunity to explain in great detail as well as provide you a
demonstration at the ranch.
Anecdotal studies over many years have shown that there are fast proven
results from working with clients in an experiential way with the
horses. It is not new to have "therapy animals". Since the
emotional state of humans can also impact our physiology it only makes
sense that the horses can "sense" those changes.
Caring for horses and the lifestyle necessary to provide that care can
teach important life skills and communication skills as horses
communicate without words. This can show how actions have consequences
and influence others in our lives.
Horses provide compassion, understanding, and humility which are all
elements necessary for a happy life and self awareness and growth.
Some specific areas that might benefit from this type of program are :
Trauma - PTSD
Traumatic Brain Injury
MST
Stress/Anxiety
Grief/Loss
Reintegration Issues
Trust Issues
Substance Abuse
Impulse Control
Poor Self-Esteem
.....to name a few.
