“The horses of these green pastures … play around and make my troubles feel close to an end, even though I know they have just begun. When I look into their eyes, I know the exact same struggles, heartaches and pain … I do believe magic happens in these fields, and if you ask me why, although I have many things to say … it?s in the way they make me feel.” Jessica, a young teen participant in the Equine Assisted Psychotherapy program, penned these poignant words.
They are echoed by other teenage girls enrolled in the five-year-old program, located at the Lost & Found Horse Rescue Foundation, about 45 minutes north of Baltimore, just over the Pennsylvania-Maryland border. They partner with the Girl?s Center Children?s Home of York.
