Running with Mustangs Curriculum Now Available
Our brand new curriculum for working with adjudicated and incarcerated youth is now available.
Running with Mustangs is an Equine Assisted Clinical Practice program for use with court-involved youth.
The program uses cognitive-behavioral theory and techniques presented in an experiential modality. Problem solving activities with horses, are designed to help youth learn important cognitive-behavioral skills in a hands on, experiential setting that allows for “in vivo” learning to occur. The manual includes a brief review of the rationale for utilizing a cognitive-behavioral approach with this population, and explains how skills based in this theory can be relayed to youth in an innovative, experiential way.
The Running with Mustangs approach follows the philosophy of the Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA) and outlines a stimulating format in which youth can learn necessary skills through interactive, dynamic activities with horses. The manual lists specific cognitive-behavioral skills for the therapist and equine specialist to present and outlines numerous options for doing so within Equine Assisted Psychotherapy sessions.
The curriculum also includes an overview of our Natural Horsemanship component, our Vocational component, and our POETIX component. Together with the CBT skills of Equine Assisted Clinical Practice, these four components form our Gang Violence Prevention Program for working with gang-involved and/or incarcerated youth.
NOTE: Workshop enrollment for one participant comes with purchase of Running with Mustangs manual. If coming onsite to Horse Sense isn't an option for you, you can utilize the consultation time with the treatment team. Both are built in to the cost of the curriculum, so we can help you be successful in your community.

DVD
'The Heart of Horse
Sense"
Total Running Time: 10:00
This 10-minute DVD is the next best thing to actually participating in equine assisted practice. The explanation of what horse therapy and learning are, along with video from several sessions, guides viewers to a clear understanding of this emerging field. With narration and candid interviews with Horse Sense of the Carolinas Owner and President Shannon Knapp, Therapist Laura Anthony and Equine Specialist Kacey Cramer, this production will add clarity and credibility to your presentations and help you take your message to clients.
Horse Sense, Business Sense is the book therapists and equine businesses have been waiting for…and a terrific common-sense book for anyone trying to be financially successful while following their dreams.
Equine therapy programs have been in existence for nearly thirty years in the form of therapeutic riding. However, a new form of Equine Assisted Practice has evolved in the past decade, and a growing number of people are experiencing profound healing and significant personal growth through the application of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) and Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) programs. Both therapists and horse people alike have been attracted to the new discipline, seeking to leave more traditional roles behind in their respective worlds. However, while EAP and EAL grow in credibility, these same "odd bedfellows" are struggling with the realities of operating both an equine business and a mental healing practice under one umbrella…with sometimes disastrous results.
Developed by one of the leaders in the field of Equine Assisted Practice, Horse Sense, Business Sense is written for those seeking to learn the business basics essential for a successful journey into Equine Assisted Therapy and Learning. Practical and pragmatic, Horse Sense, Business Sense relates the straightforward and oftentimes humorous story of author Shannon Knapp's own journey from idealistic up-start to savvy entrepreneur, with key principles and pointers ideal for the new therapy business. Shannon Knapp is one of the more experienced veterans in the field, and has learned firsthand that creating a successful practice comes only after learning how to create a successful business foundation. Learn the necessary "Horse Sense" principles to avoid the pitfalls that can threaten your success in the exciting new world of Equine Assisted Practice.
Kendall SummerHawk, author of Brilliance Unbridled, sums it up: "Running a horse business is a labor of love. [Horse Sense, Business Sense] is chock full of practical insights and real-life information that will give every horse business owner the shot they deserve at being successful. Definitely a 'must-read!'"
