Winner of “Best Western Podcast” – Equus Film & Arts Festival
Dude rancher Russell True and cowboy H. Alan Day team up in Tucson, Arizona to talk all things Western. They’ll share adventures from the range, from the seat of a plane’s cockpit, from the back of a horse. (You may wonder how they lived to tell their tales!) And they’ll have a roundup of guests, Western writers, horse lovers, chuckwagon chefs, ranchers, nature lovers. It’s the West now and then.
Early in her career, Lynn Thomas, LCSW, noticed that horses had a profound influence on the troubled youth with whom she was working. That was the start of her efforts to incorporate horses into mental health and wellness programs. Lynn joins Russell and Alan to talk about the two non-profit organizations she co-founded and the campaign “Seen Through Horses,” which brings together organizations, celebrities, businesses, legislators, and passionate individuals to work collaboratively to expand the role horses play in mental health and well-being. And the timing couldn’t be better. May is National Mental Health Month.
