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

An 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 EAPs may influence other mental health measures in children and adults such as self-concept, disruptive behavior, depression and anxiety.
