Horses and Humans Research Foundation Welcomes New Board Member

Chagrin Falls, Ohio, July 1, 2021.  Horses and Humans Research Foundation (HHRF) welcomes our newest Board member, Jane Davis, LMSW, of Woodstock, NY. 

Jane comes to HHRF with years of equine experience.  She first started with horses at five years old.  After becoming a Licensed Master Social Worker from Washington University in St. Louis, MO she focused on Equine Assisted Therapy.  With her equine partner, Snickers, they developed a modality called  “Equine Assisted Healing”.  Jane says “it is about Contact, Communication and Connection.”  They focus on helping people access and release their deepest emotions.  They have touched hundreds of lives and are a prime example of the power of the horse and human bond and how effective it can be in healing stress, PTSD, trauma, and more. Jane has worked with police officers, Veterans, grieving individuals and families, people coming out of prison and couples/individuals struggling with stress and communication.

She brings all of this to HHRF to help promote the importance of this bond.  When asked about being a part of the HHRF board Jane shared, “I am so honored and excited to be part of HHRF.  Having done this work for so many years I was always aware of the lack of “evidenced based” research and support there was for it.  HHRF is this missing link that will provide research and grants to promote the power of the horse/human bond and expand the work.”

See Jane’s work at http://www.ridersofthesage.com and on Facebook.  All of us at HHRF are thrilled to have her join our team and bring her skills and expertise to help support our research focused mission.
