Master’s Thesis:
Equine Assisted Therapy: Striving for Balance In a New Form of Psychotherapy
By Lisa S. Baugh
“The controversy over the role of the horse in equine assisted therapy represents one facet of the larger overall continuum of approaches which is best viewed as a spectrum.”
“The two ends of the spectrum differ philosophically and in overall world-view.”
“The value of seeing the field as a continuum is that nothing must remain fixed.” (pg 78-79)
The complete 128 page master’s thesis is available for purchase. Comes wire bound with black front and back vinyl cover. $46 includes shipping and handling. Contact by phone or email for details:

“After working in the corporate world for many years in the fields of team building, leadership and employee performance improvement, I began training in the emerging field of equine experiential learning. This led to forming the Epona Ridge, where women have come for years to gain insight and greater awareness of their life direction. I found that horses provided a significant key to a depth of learning that had not be reached before and opened the heart to a deeper potential of greatness…Prior to coaching with horses I had the privilege of apprenticing with Linda Kohanov, an internationally recognized innovator of EFL and renowned author on expanding human potential. In addition to the traditional corporate leadership training and team building, I am also certified in Linda’s Power of the Herd and Master Herder Leadership programs.”
