Every now and then, I like to give some publicity to somebody who’s making a difference. Today, I want to focus on my friend Beckie Boger and her new business, Divine Equines, LLC. Beckie is my piano teacher, but she also has a lifelong love affair with horses. Many of you who saw the movie The Horse Whisperer can appreciate the magical connection between humans and horses.

Divine Equines builds on that by using a combination of horse interactions with trained teachers and psychotherapists to provide healing for those who haven’t improved with conventional medicine. If you know of someone in the central Ohio area who is a returning veteran suffering from PTSD, has been abused physically or psychologically, has been addicted to chemicals, is ADD/ADHD, or is suffering from any emotional challenge, you need to check this out.

From 6-8 p.m. on Saturday, August 14, 2010, visitors to an open house at Rail Fence Farm, 244 St. Rt. 314 Centerburg, Ohio will have a unique opportunity to learn about the emotional healing programs offered to the Central Ohio community by Divine Equines, LLC. Divine Equines is an Equine Assisted Psychotherapy counseling practice whose mission is to offer children, teenagers and their families creative, experiential activities and interactions with horses that allow for healthy emotional awareness and healing in the arena of life.

“Horses don’t lie,” says Beckie Boger, the Divine Equines founder, “and can challenge us to dig deeper to find out the truth behind the patterns of our emotional lives.” Boger, an Equine Assisted Emotional Growth and Learning Association ( www.eagala.org ) Certified Equine Professional, follows the EAGALA model of counseling by partnering with Mental Health Professional Helen Cantrell, a 40-year Licensed Independent Social Worker. All activities take place on the ground and no riding skills are necessary.
“We invite anyone who is curious about Equine Assisted Psychotherapy to our open house to meet and greet and graze with us and our wonderful horse partners,” Boger said. “We look forward to sharing our program and vision with our visitors.”
For more information about the open house or services provided by Divine Equines, contact Beckie Boger at 740-625-5661, or on the web at www.dequines.com

No commercial messages here. Just a public service announcement to all those who follow me. Come on over to Beckie’s open house this Saturday.
