Heavenly Hoofs
The Hoofs of Love Program is a collaboration between Dr. Ana Lopez-Dawson of Guardian Angel, Deb Hoyt of Healing Hearts with Horses and Kelly & Peter Decious of Strides.
This collaborative effort will focus on raising money and awareness for the above mentioned programs; by treating children and teens suffering from emotional problems and disorders, through the interactivity and care of the Equine.
The Healing Hearts with Horses program provides services for youths that are experiencing emotional and behavioral problems. Many are out of home placements and have a history of abuse and mental health disorders. Dr. Ana Lopez-Dawson will be providing the psychotherapy portion of the services; with Deb Hoyt in the capacity of Horse Assistant.
Dr. Ana Lopez-Dawson will also be assisting Kelly Decious of the STRIDES program; whose services are geared to treating children who have developmental disorders, such as cerebral palsy. She is particularly interested in helping children with Autism. Through Guardian Angel, Dr. Lopez will raise money via grants and corporate donations to allow children and teens to benefit from the services of the Strides Program.
