[message]There are two books in this Review about therapy working with animals and both are invaluable. While Cow Hug Therapy is sentimental (in the best sense of the word) and truly heartwarming, this book is much more straight down the line and practical. It would be ideal if you were considering having equine assisted therapy or in training to become a therapist. It’s very practical and in-depth and there are plentiful notes to back up what she says but it’s also spiritual and not at all cold and academic. The author clearly loves her companion horses. She lives on a small farm in Waikato, New Zealand/Aotearoa where she shares her equine therapy work. There are no pictures or other illustrations but there are plenty of stories.
