PHHW DAKOT<br />

In 2014, I welcomed home a Project Hope Horse Rescue pony named Dakota<br />

Dakota had a history of neglect and possible abuse, and was rescued as a 6 year old stallion when his t<br />

was wild and untrainable and should be put down. Fortunately, he was rescued and gelded and went<br />

taught him some ground manners although he remained very wary of humans. When I saw Dakota’s fa<br />

of a PHHW newsletter, I knew he would be a wonderful addition to the herd. For the first month or s<br />

difficult to catch and anxious. However, with patience and open hearts on both his side and mine, respe<br />

and by gently allowing him to decide at what pace to connect, he and I have become very close. Dakota<br />

with clients as an equine therapist at Coventry Psychology at Epona Brae in late He is now a star th<br />

intuitive and gentle. He works well with emotionally vulnerable clients and children, and seems to innate<br />

need support or space.<br />
