My brother and I don't talk much but he enthusiastically texted me about an experience he had after I shared with him how many farrier accounts I follow on Insta ❤️

He met the owner of #EbonyHorsewomen.

EHI is a one-of-a-kind, urban riding center in Hartford Connecticut. They provide equine-assisted psychotherapy services directly to clients and offer advanced, credited, professional development programs for therapists, horse specialists and college students.

He was so moved by the experience and the tour he received that he is planning to carve out time to try and get certified in equine therapy which I think would be a fascinating area to go into the provide unique services for those suffering from trauma.

He was most impressed by the founder and owner Patricia E. Kelly, a U.S. Marine Corp Vietnam-era veteran and African-American cowgirl.
