Summary
In this episode, host Dixie sits down with Katie Hunt, the driving force behind Shagbark Hickory Farm—a Connecticut-based nonprofit dedicated to the life-changing power of equine-assisted therapy. Katie shares how her farm evolved from a family hobby into a vital community asset, matching semi-retired horses with individuals facing anxiety, autism, ADHD, and cerebral palsy. Discover the incredible, documented bond between humans and horses, how an animal’s heartbeat can help regulate our own, and the ways Shagbark Hickory Farm is instilling responsibility and joy in everyone from two-year-old preschoolers to adults.
