Hippotherapy

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy Knowledge Base

Anyone had any experience with Equine Assisted Psychotherapy? It's something I'm interested in, and would like to hear people's experiences with..
where can I donate a healthy older TB broodmare for tax deduction? Mare is 22y/o, gentle, & would make a great co-therapist for an equine assisted psychotherapy program. She is a former stakes winner w/ Seattle Slew on top & Native Dancer on bottom. She could also probably breed again but I don't have the $ to tie up in that.
(EAP)Where can I get money to start a non-profit organization w/o having a legal bs/soliciting license yet? I am starting a non-profit center(Equine Assisted Psychotherapy Program and a community center incorporating arts and music) and and have done research for over 8 months on the center and program I am trying to create. My background is helpful as well. My problem is that I can not ask/solicit for funds to start the center w/o a business license and a solicitation license, not to mention at least 300.00 for non-profit application. I have tried churches and such, but w/o a business license (costs money) I can not give them a charitable deduction/expense. The program for youth center is specifically for At Risk Youth and uses horses in psychotherapy. (EAP) The community center will be used as a daycare and community arts and music center. We will also rent out rooms for seminars, book clubs, music and art lessons for private teachers etc.
