Stable Recovery - How Horses Transform Homeless Men Into Horsemen

by Ken Snyder

~~20,16€~~ 18,14€ 10% OFF

 When Kentucky horseman and business owner Frank Taylor climbed the steps from his basement after a tragic discovery, he knew his life had to change. Stable Recovery: How Horses Transform Homeless Men Into Horsemen is the heartwarming story of how homeless, addicted men were paired with thoroughbred horses as a form of recovery and redemption. The program has been a resounding success.Taylor made a gamble bigger than any ever placed at a racetrack, entrusting the care of some of the world’s most expensive horses to men who had largely been given up on. As if the combination weren’t odd enough, all this happened at his farm—a worldwide leader in thoroughbred sales and marketing.The Stable Recovery program launched with two premises: Addicts cannot live where their addiction originated, and they needed purposeful, meaningful work. Without either of these, long-term sobriety and recovery would not work. In collaboration with Christian Countzler, a former Army veteran who experienced homelessness himself, Stable Recovery created not only an amazingly successful rehabilitation program, but a new path for addiction recovery with implications far beyond the Nicholasville, Kentucky, horse farm. An unlikely pairing in an unlikely place, this story offers hope for anyone, addict or not.

Second Chances - The Transformative Relationship Between Incarcerated Youth And Shelter Dogs

by Joan K. Dalton

~~26,49€~~ 23,84€ 10% OFF

 Second Chances: The Transformative Relationship Between Incarcerated Youth and Shelter Dogs recounts the story of Project POOCH (Positive Opportunities—Obvious Change with Hounds), a program that united incarcerated boys with unwanted dogs from animal shelters. Both the boys and the dogs were considered undesirable, and few had found love in their lives. As a result of the project, the lives of many youths and dogs changed forever.The project faced many challenges. The correctional facility administrators needed much convincing before approval was given to start the onsite program with one boy and one dog. At one point, Dalton sold her house to keep the project funded. However, since 1993, over 95 percent of the youths have not returned to corrections once their sentence was served. Some of the boys have gone on to college, and all have been gainfully employed. The POOCH dogs learned basic obedience and went on to become beloved family pets; some even became companion dogs to autistic children, people with physical impairments, and war veterans diagnosed with PTSD. Dalton’s own story starts with a family background where her dogs were killed for minor behavioral problems, and leads to teaching incarcerated youth that they deserve unconditional love, first demonstrated by the transformational connection with canines.
