How playing with horses for 2 months left a strong impression on me

I would like to echo the special thank you to all the course facilitators.

I joined the course as a way to get off campus and have a relaxing Wednesday afternoon off from medical school, but the course has been much more than that. It has opened my eyes to the possibilities of different treatment modalities, especially in relation to mental health. Equine-assisted therapy is truly a fascinating subject I hope to learn more about and engage in later in my career as a child/adolescent psychiatrist.

Horses have also taught me a lot of social dynamics, the importance of strong leadership, nonverbal communication such as body language, intention and emotional tone of our words. Experts have often said communication is 90% non-verbal, and I believe it. I think the class has made me a much more aware and effective communicator, and even a more strong leader.

Thank you!
