"Kay Trotter and Jennifer Baggerly's Equine-Assisted Mental Health for Healing Trauma is a game changerThis book considerably increases the level of conversation around including equines in the treatment of trauma and promotes a much higher level of competency for those interested in this area of practice. I applaud each of the contributing authors for their scholarship and commitment to excellence, and I recommend this book as an invaluable resource for professionals."

Leif Hallberg, MA, LPC, LCPC, researcher, psychotherapist, and author of The Clinical Practice of Equine-Assisted Therapy and The Equine-Assisted Therapy Workbook

"This book is a much-needed resource for professionals who work with trauma survivors and incorporate equines into their therapy. Each chapter outlines the theoretical foundation of the model described and includes detailed examples of sessions that demonstrate working with equines. A variety of techniques are covered for both childhood trauma and adult trauma populations. Ethical issues of working with horses and excellent references are also presented."
