People are turning to horse therapy to improve mental health during the pandemic

The Equine Leadership Program in Topanga Canyon, California, helps people with depression, anxiety, trauma and other issues.

"I had time during the pandemic to think about what I was doing and to feel where my mission was going to be," Niederberghaus told Fox News.  She added: "When this all opened back up and I was foreseeing that people were going to get stressed and they're going to get you know, existence problems, communication problems in the family.... I thought, you know what? I'm going to be helping some people and I hope I will help a lot of people to find to themselves their true inside, their emotions, their awareness, their energy levels."
