Amy's Gentle Giants- I began Amy's Gentle Giants after being faced with a horrible tragedy no one should ever be faced with. I found my best friend of several years unexpectedly one morning. Little did I know that my life would be forever changed. A word that saddened me before, now not only saddens me but I have a whole new understanding of the word and more sensitive to the subject. Since being
diagnosed with PTSD, I have fought my ways through the many stages of grief and struggled day to day with unanswered questions; questions I will never know the answer to. I turned to God and my horses for therapy. The feeling of being need by my horses filled part of the hole in my heart. I had always been a believer that horses are therapeutic but never really understood just how therapeutic they really could be. I prayed to God while clinging to the manes of my horses and my tears soaking there necks. I feared what the future held for me and being around such large honest animals I slowly became to overcome my fears. I feel that God has blessed me to be fortunate enough to have such animals that I want to share the experience with others. No my horses are not of normal size. Renegade- 10yr old saddlebred gelding, 16 hands tall. Tally Ho Duke- 13 yr old Reg. English Shire Draft horse gelding, 16-3/4 hands tall. Legacy's One In A Billion- 5yr old Reg. dapple grey Percheron gelding, 19.1 hands tall and still growing. Horses are used for therapy in many ways. I am looking to get my certification to become an equine therapist so that I may help others that have struggled w such tragedies, and share an amazing experience. I am currently giving riding lessons, your location or mine, training, riding, showing, exercise regimens of your horse. My Gentle Giants are available (just the horses or horse and cart) for events, birthdays, meet and greets. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me Amy Fields (865) 755-8534. As a suicide survivor, I am living proof these giants are truly therapeutic. The greatest healing therapy is experiencing friendship, trust and love of a gentle giant.
