As I said in my other thread, I could not continue with a therapist in these circumstances, so I was only going to speak to the horse issue. I find it really helpful to just go get my calmest, most confident horse and I take her out and hand graze her and just hang out with her. Sometimes I even bring a lawn chair and let her graze on a long lead around me and just try to 'feel' her, if that makes sense. Pretty often, she will walk up and press against me while I am in the chair and hold me with her head and neck. It is a very calming, bonding experience, with no repercussions for your back.
