CAROUSEL HORSE started at an event where we met a producer who has a son who LOVED equine therapy. The Father said, write it in a screenplay. Bring it to my office. I just need it copyrighted to read it, we will get a screenwriter and staff, but I want to make this movie, Sadly, by the time we got the book copyrighted and drove to his office, nothing but a copy machine was left and the woman in the office across the hall said, OH, they moved out, I am just waiting for the man to pick up the copy machine fro them.
On contact, we were told his producer had moved back east and was not doing production anymore had a new business. SO, we had a children’s book, with a screenplay in it.
We began to use it as a teaching tool for high risk youth and their families, both those who came to our equine therapy programs and those that were not able to get to the stable.
Some years later, we wrote a new book train people to start their own equine therapy programs, and included some of Carousel Horse into that manual.
Then Covid19 came, and we started getting calls from people who had their own problems with children, grandchildren, and nieces and nephews who had no school to attend, and felt they needed help. We even got email from adults who had been through our programs and said, HEY, people need you. We revised Carousel Horse to 2020 for parents, and others, to read and have children and teens work with them to read the screenplay together.
