Three, two, one. Did you know that the Greek word for horse is hippo? That's right, a horse is a hippo. Now, back in ancient Greek times, many famous people, even Hippocrates, talked about the relationship between writing and the human body. Now, fast forward to the 60s, and writing becomes an official therapeutic practice. And since then, equine and hippotherapy, we all know now, that means horse therapy, has grown from a simple writing to therapeutics that include occupational speech and cognitive behavioral therapy, plus a plethora of other things that they're treating. Today, Dana Butler-Molberg, she's the CEO of the Chase Center of Therapeutic Writing, she joins us. And their story started way back in the 70s, but today they're now one of the top equine assistance therapy centers in the world.
