We are Shreyasi and Frank Brodhecker.
Shreyasi is a Psychiatrist and Frank is a Registered Social Worker living in Edmonton. We own ten horses, and our herd is boarded at Hawkstone Stables at Spruce Grove, and at Free Rein Ranch in Lamont, AB. Between the two of us, we have over twenty years of experience in the mental health field. Regarding horse experience, Frank has owned and ridden horses since he was a child, has been involved with training and breeding, and is continuing to practice Western riding with his former reining quarterhorse, Romeo. Shreyasi is a newer rider, with about two years of riding experience, who primarily rides another quarterhorse, Stella Also in our herd are a number of weanlings and yearlings, as well as a wonderful rescue horse, Arya. We will share numerous anecdotes of our horses in the various posts to follow, and hope that our readers can find some similarities with their own four legged equine friends. We have recently decided to pursue the training and eventual certification for equine facilitated wellness, and to ask our herd to participate (for those of them that choose to) in allowing us to create a healing environment for others down the road.
