Horse therapy program aids troubled youth

Black Creek teenager Jaime Meulemans once dealt with hurt, anger and depression by pushing her sisters, shouting at her parents and breaking dishes so she wouldn't have to wash them.

THAT IS TRUE, JESUS ALSO CREATED THE WONDERFUL HORSE! SO THE SAYING GOES, THE OUTSIDE OF THE HORSE IS GOOD FOR THE INSIDE OF THE MAN OR WOMAN!

JUST BECAUSE YOU BELIVE IN SOMETHING DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD CRAM IT DOWN OTHERS THROATS, IT ALSO DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD KNOCK SOMETHING BECAUSE YOU DON'T OR CAN'T UNDERSTAND. AREN'T YOU CHRISTIANS SUPPOSED TO NOT JUDGE. YOU ARE A COMPLETE HYPOCRITE!!!! AT LEAST A HORSE CAN PHYSICALLY MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER WHEN IT LOOKS YOU IN THE EYE, GOD DOES NOT. GET OVER YOURSELF. POWER TO THE HORSE AND TO THOSE THAT THEY HELP!!!

Can't we enjoy Jesus AND horses? After all, God made the horses, and I reckon he did a really good job on them. Horse riding is very soothing if you have been very depressed. I like horses a lot.

Therapy with horses is a great way to help anything. Nobody can say that people who go to counsling or anything like that have problems because everyone needs help sometime in their life. Also people who make fun of others that go to counsling are just as bad as discriminating blacks against whites. It's as simple as that, if you have nothing nice to say then just keep your mouth shut.I for one have gone through therapy because of people like that. If you can't stand people doing that to you then don't do it to them, plus saying someone is on dope is harrasment and it HURTS!!!

OK, like the old saying goes, "Get a horse".

Some of my best friends are horses. And some of my worse enemies are their north side going south.

Hello all! I think that Chaps is an amazing orginization. They are giving people hope that cant seem to find it anywhere else. I have seen and felt what a horse can do for a person that cant seem to confide in anyone. Sometimes it helps to have a friend that cant talk back. I am also a christian and I believe that God gave us animals for a reason. So reach out and embrace an animal wether it is a horse, dog, cat or a mouse. They dont judge you - they just love you for who you are. Good luck to you my friend.
