      Hi Mary…I am very excited about the wonderful response I am receiving about this book and it’s not even out yet. Once people get a chance to read and use it in their practices is when the excitement really begins. Can’t want to here your reactions to the many wonderful things in the book.

    Hi Dr Trotter,
    Do you know of any work currently being done or research on Equine Facilitated Counseling or Activities with older adults (65+)? I am very interested in AAI for older adults and I feel that Equine Facilitated Therapies should also be a apart of AAI options for this population as well! This is especially true when you look at the demographic data that shows how the aging of our society will impact our nation in just the next few years.

    I have also put in a request to my webmaster to add a link to your book info page on my AAI Resource Links page.

    Kind Regards,
