Memoir examines the healing power of horses

In her memoir, Emily Swisher tells the story of forging a new path at an equine therapy ranch first in Colorado and later in Montana to help people heal wounds and trauma.  

Swisher is a licensed psychotherapist specializing in equine interventions and trauma in Whitefish. In her book “STABLE: A Therapist and the Healing Nature of Horses,” she dives deep into painful parts of her past as a young woman and interweaves it with stories of other inspiring individuals and groups she has supported, from victims of abuse and troubled children to the bereaved and broken-hearted. 

She sees the transformation of individuals, sometimes subtle and small, other times hard-won and miraculous, while healing her own long-buried scars and rediscovering the joy and fearlessness she lost along the way.
