A horse therapy program on Long Island is now helping children deal with trauma and sickness in their families.
Riding on and caring for horses isn’t something that Brendan does every day, but for the 10-year-old, a special activity took his mind off the loss of his father."You’re not in like a place where it’s just you," he said. "It’s like you’re not alone here we’re all going through the same thing, and we’re all here for the same reason."
"When they can come to SIBSPlace they can talk about all of these feelings and not feel judged and feel 100% accepted," said Joanna Formont who is the executive director of SIBSPlace. "We’re giving them opportunities to be kids."More than 20 children spent the day at HorseAbility. It’s a therapeutic riding center where retired carriages, police and show horses offer healing powers.
