Healing through horses

In the multimedia presentation observed, the clip raises awareness to alternate therapy programs for children effectively through the use of still photography, video and audio. The multimedia piece portrays audio clips from the SonRise founder, Melanie Buerke, children of all ages, and their parents giving a panoramic view of how each person is affected and how their personal perceptions drastically change throughout the program. The clip shows the children and managers in action and well as the priceless, photographic moments captured in time. The clip also enlightens people of how and what the children gratefully receive from the horses that is not always offered at home. This particular multimedia presentation is a very touching story told from multiple perspectives and well organized video and photography.

"Equine Healing"


On January 9, the SonRise Equestrian Foundation posted a multimedia presentation on "Equine healing" for "children in crisis." The foundation rescued horses and began their therapeutic riding program in Castro Valley, CA. The program allows children to experience horses in a way that raises their self esteem and gives them a chance to relate knowing that these rescue horses have a past similar to their own. Check out the presentation here:
