[Ag-eq] Equine therapy

[Michelle Creedy]

Hi Nella 

There are some therapy groups. Not a lot.

That's cool about the transportation. 

Sure, I totally don't expect her to do anything just thought it would be
interesting. It's always a bit awkward when you don't really know someone.

Michelle

Michelle:

I don't think she would mind answering some questions, but I'll ask her.  If
she's o.k. with it I'll forward her contact info to you.

I know she transports the minis in a small horse trailer.

Do you know if there are any therapy groups in your area?

Nella
