🌼Good morning☀️

HAALT is so very proud of the work our miniature horses, Taco and Gypsy have accomplished. They have now retired from their foundational roles at Nemours ADAPT in Jacksonville. Taco and Gypsy helped develop and build the unique program, ADAPT Assisted Dog and Pony Therapy at the Nemours Children’s Health Clinic in Jacksonville. Taco, Gypsy, and Buc were ADAPT’s first miniature horses to regularly travel on-site to partner with Nemours providers to assist with healing and comforting children with chronic illnesses or cancer.

The amount of expertise, passion, perseverance, and pure grit that was necessary to build this program is admirable. With what started as a beautiful idea by Jennifer Pfieffer and led by Carlene Taylor and an amazing group of Nemours psychologists, therapists, and equine experts, the ADAPT program continues to grow and expand. Now, in addition to miniature horses, dogs have been integrated into the program and partner with this incredible team of both mental health clinicians and medical teams.

Taco and Gypsy may not be seen on the Nemours campus any longer but the lives they have touched amidst their pivotal roles will be treasured. ADAPT and HAALT honors and recognizes their contributions. They will continue to make a difference in the lives of many others as partners in psychotherapy and equine assisted learning in their forever home on the Hodges’ family farm here at HAALT Therapeutic Center, PLLC alongside their herd of horse and sheep friends. ADAPT will continue to partner with HAALT in a variety of ways to continue to serve our local Northeast Florida and beyond.

Thank you ADAPT for honoring these beautiful creatures. What an incredible season of service and learning we have all shared. ❤️

Goodbye Hurricane Milton! 🌀
Here are a few pics of the farm pre and post 🌀visit. We had a pretty soggy start yesterday but today we are drying up. All of the horses, sheep, chickens, barn cat, farm dogs, and ducks are safe and sound.

Thank you all for reaching out to check on us. Thinking of those down south that are still without power and have endured so much destruction and loss.
Mother Nature has a way of challenging us in a variety of ways. In what ways have you felt challenged? What feelings did 🌀stir up for you? Anxiety, fear, gratitude, stress, etc.? And how have you processed it? Rest, prayer, talking to a family member, friend, neighbor?
