Seven years ago, Will began riding at CKRH with the goal of improving his riding skills and becoming more sociable. He is now able to post the trot independently and even has taught his instructor to dance. He always greets people with a smile and knows every CKRH staff member by name.
Brigade also greets everyone with a smile - or a big whinny. The 17-year-old American Paint Horse gelding participates in CKRH's non-mounted programs, where he teaches body self-awareness and works with individuals with assistive devices and those unable to ride due to physical and/or cognitive degeneration. Through his communicative nature, Brigade is considered the MVP of the Equine Assisted Survivors of Trauma Therapy (EASTT) group at CKRH. He teaches clients how to recognize thoughts and emotions and communicate effectively to create lasting relationships and build trust.
