The Stable will hold “Life after”, an interactive workshop about
moving forward from loss. Taking place on October 16, 2021 from 1 -
4 p.m., participants will be learning about the “Four Tasks of
Mourning” by William Worden.
“The ‘Life After’ workshop is an empowering approach to processing
grief. We use horse assisted therapy combined with The Four Tasks of
Mourning to help those suffering from loss to find a healthy path
forward. There is no riding involved so horsemanship skills are not
necessary,” said April Doolin, Equine Specialist at ‘The Stable.’
New Perspective
Previous workshop participants have already benefited from “Life
After.” Participants dealing with the loss of a loved one have been
able to see immediate improvements in their perspective on life.
“Life After” enables participants to embrace the new normal that
their life has become.
“This type of therapy allows people to take internal and abstract
thoughts and feelings and project them onto external objects and
animals. Being able to touch, move and interact with those abstract
ideas brings a fresh perspective and healing from pain,” said
Tedrick.

Founded in 2019 as a cooperative venture between Rolling Prairie Stables and
Lincoln Pastoral Counseling Service, The Stable uses the EAGALA mode of therapy
to incorporate horses into the treatment team. Everything is ground-based, no
riding is involved. The team is made up of a mental health professional, equine
specialist, and a small herd of horses. The interactive nature of the therapy
sessions allows for a unique processing of emotions and events to occur that
traditional talk therapy doesn’t offer. The combination of the intuitive nature
of horses and the use of metaphor makes this mode of therapy powerful and
effective. The Stable holds occasional group events as well as individual
therapy sessions.
