Below is an exact copy of a letter of thanks sent to MTAR by a gentlemen called Lyn Thomas who attends the Equine therapy service provided by the centre but is constantly under huge threat.  As you can see it, not only saves animals but saves people aswell, please help to highlight this fabulous cause and to run a MUCH needed article on it.

Many Tears Equestrian [1]

I’d like to read you a letter. It takes courage to write like this, to offer such raw honesty and to allow it to be shared and I’m so very grateful. Thank you www.facebook.com

I originally attended Many Tears to support me with equine therapy due to my low mood and depression from losing my vision, i lost my vision in March 2016 where a procedure to correct my sight was unsuccessful, at this point I lost complete sight and cannot see anything.

I have always been an animal lover, and due to my sight loss, I feel comfortable with being in the presence of animals, my rehabilitation officer for visual improvement thought I would be a prime candidate to receive equine therapy due to my low mood.

I was referred to Many Tears and met the Staff with kindness and support to improve my well being.

I have met a couple of horses and dogs whilst attending my weekly sessions, it has been a wonderful experience, it has opened my heart up again to love animals, just because I cannot see the world, I can still feel and love and give the unwanted animals the love and protection they deserve. This has been a huge positive resource to myself and others, who attend, I am now calmer and more open to converse with others.

This service, equine therapy, it has not just benefitted me, but would also give other disabled people the chance to love, to feel wanted and cared for, like I have received.

This has been a wonderful experience for me, the Staff, especially Katie, the equine worker has helped me develop skills and a relationship with ponies, which I have never had before. My confidence has grown and I don’t have so many “low moods” from my attendance at Many Tears, I look forward to my weekly sessions so much that I cannot sleep the night before due to excitement.

This service is so worthwhile, it would be devastating if Many Tears could not carry on with all their brilliant work. Please support this service because to be honest, I am not sure where I would be without it.

Mr Lyn Thomas
