Horses can help people fix ANYTHING!

Archie is not your average horse. He helps people get rid of their flies...you know, the things that bug us! When horses get flies, they swish their tails to make them go away, but since people don't have tails, they come to Archie for help. This creative book for all ages takes a look at how powerful using horses can be to help people heal on the inside. ˙

"This book touchingly introduces readers to the power horses can have helping youth and adults face and overcome the difficult struggles in their lives. This concept is now a professional method of mental health treatment known as Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, where a licensed mental health professional and an equine specialist work together with horses and clients to help remove the 'flies' and live healthier, happier lives."
- Lynn Thomas , Co-founder & Executive Director, Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA)

"Excellent book for therapy! I have conducted Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy for three years--great book for any age. Julia Cook summarizes how horses can break through resistance and foster acceptance and healing. Her book highlights the emotional intelligence and non-judging nature of our equine partners! "
- Susanne, Therapist
