Living In The Present Tense
Alzheimer’s Today published an article featuring Nancy’s nonprofit, Connected Horse.
A special thanks to Isabel Soloaga, the author of the article, for all her work advocating the healing power of horses.
“When my grandfather passed, I knew I needed a change. I missed a sense of fulfillment from my work. More than this, I knew horses to be teachers as well as friends.
A Google search brought me to a Stanford research article about an organization that brings hope to individuals living with dementia through horses. I was struck, not only because the issues landed so close to my heart but because the article described quantifiable benefits for participants on the scientific level. These included significantly lowered depression and anxiety in both people living with dementia and their care partners. I wanted to learn more.”
