I wonder what you need to do to qualify to practice equine assisted therapy?

Horse therapy helps soldier's mental scars. Adam served in the siege of
CIMIC House in Al Amarah in Iraq in August 2004. British soldiers there came
under sustained attack by Iraqi insurgents, who launched more than 80
attacks over 23 days, with the British firing more than 33,000 rounds to
defend the compound - in one of the longest defensive actions by British
forces in recent history. Adam left the Army soon after his deployment, but
was haunted by his experiences and has suffered from severe post traumatic
stress, and has lost both his job and his home. He is now taking part in
equine assisted therapy, a new form of therapy offered by Sun Tui, founder
of The International Foundation Equine Assisted Learning (IFEAL), and is
determined to become a mentor to other soldiers suffering from the mental
wounds of war.
