EAYP has been in existence since 2003 within the private practice of G. Ann Remick Barlow, LLC. MSW, LISW.

A recent article has been published about our equine assisted programs in Health and Social Care in the Community (Volume 15 Issue 3 Page 265 - May 2007) entitled, “Equine-assisted Psychotherapy: a Mental Health Promotion/Intervention Modality for Children Who Have Experienced Intra-family Violence,” by Pamela N. Schultz PhD RN, G. Ann Remick-Barlow MSW LISW and Leslie Robbins DSN CNS CNP, Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA.

This beginning study indicates the current efficacy of our programs especially for children ages 7-16 experiencing anxiety and traumas.

Further studies are being done to explore a better understanding of how EAYPs may influence other mental health measures in children such as self-concept, disruptive behavior, depression and anxiety.
