20.01.2022 We regret to advise that the decision has been made to suspend the Equine Assisted Learning program until further notice due to the Covid-19 pandemic. If you find you are physically missing the horses, close your eyes, imagine yourself standing next to one , draw in a long slow breath of imagined beautiful horse scent, hold for 4, then long exhale. Repeat 6 times then as often as you wish throughout the day. Steph, Sharon and the herd wish you well in these times

14.01.2022 This is a plea to our community. Sunshine Coast RDA is a not for profit organization that relies soley on volunteers, fund raising events and grants. All of our... fund raising events like our very popular Open Day and Scone Off, and others, have had to be cancelled this year. Also, some of our fee generated programs have been postponed. We have had some help from the government but, the bills keep coming in. We may not recover as quickly as other businesses, due to the physical distancing limits and type of work we do. Could we ask if everyone donated a little it would go a long way. Many thanks in advance. Also, a huge thanks to SCRDA members Alicia our Financial Officer, Jan our Secretary, Carolyn our President and others who help behind the scenes in their own time, working tirelessly to keep us going. www.scrda.org.au #volunteersarepriceless See more

01.01.2022 Horses have been engaged for therapeutic purposes since the time of the ancient Greeks. The Greek physician Hippocrates, known as the ""Father of Medicine,"" wr...ote about the therapeutic potential of horseback riding. Offering a much different experience than traditional talk therapy, mental health services incorporating horses brings people outdoors and offers an opportunity to use all senses while learning and processing through emotional challenges. Although a variety of animals can be involved in the psychotherapy process, horses offer unique traits. Anxiety expert, Dr. Robin Zasio, details the History of Equine Assisted Therapy, and the unique elements horses bring to the therapy process: ""This list includes characteristics of horses that make them unique for therapy. Non-judgmental and unbiased: Horses react only to the patient’s behavior and emotions and are not biased by the patient’s physical appearance or past mistakes. Patients describe this as being crucial to the therapy and aids in increase of self-esteem and self-confidence. Feedback and mirroring: Their nature as a prey and herd animal makes them hyper vigilant and sensitive, thus making them keen observers. This means that their feedback is provided earlier and more consistently than with a human therapist. The horse has an innate tendency to mirror the patient’s behavior, physical movements and emotions, which help the participant be more aware of him or herself. It allows patients to feel felt. This feedback can then be translated by the equine specialist and analyzed by the group. Metaphor for real life: The ability of a therapist to use the horse as a metaphor for other issues helps make the equine treatment applicable to real life problems. An example of how a therapist can help the patient work out issues in their own lives through the use of the horse as a metaphor: One child was having great difficulty discussing how they were feeling about an upcoming move to another state. She was, however, able to offer many suggestions for how to help a horse that was being sold feel more comfortable in his new environment. Using the horse as a metaphor for his own move, the child better understood and could cope with her own move."
