During 1998-99, when I started 'Our Soft Touch Quantum Horsemanship ' as a -- -anization, in York County, Pa., We had about 18 News articles about our work during that time.  Two women come to me from Scranton, Pa., one with Parkinson Disease.  She told me that her medications were wearing off, and she didn't know if she could ride after she traveling 200 miles.

         She was bent over, hands up to her chin, and gently trembling.  This woman was a chiropractor by profession, and had to quit due to her disease.

         I have been a very sensitive person with an interesting background, and a life study of people with horses and what happens between the two, as in behavior, emotional issues, human control, body issues etc.

         I immediately felt 'the need' --when listening to her tell of her disease, and asked a favor of her.

         I just wanted her to climb a ladder to get on this large horse, bareback, and continued to do a few exercises, talk, etc.

        She could not stay up and on the horse for longer than 25 minutes, due to her lean body.  She had difficulty, and also needed our help to dismount.

        When her feet finally hit the ground, she slowly started to uncurl her body, drop her arms, and slowly stood straight up with arms dropped at her side. No trembling. There was confusion on her face and all she could say was "I'll be damn".

        They called to let me know she did not need medications until after the third day.

         I have been on this private study for some time, and wish to make contact with Parkinson groups, to give and seek more help for those in need.

        I have been held up in this entire process since 2000, having difficulty finding that proper facility, and trying to understand what God had in mind for us.  The past 10 years has been spent documenting, and re-structuring our work, including a curriculum for new Our Soft Touch Quantum Horsemanship Consultants [volunteer].  I am now in a rural area in Central Pa with access to several 'Where Eagles Fly', a couple of dorms, and an upcoming Conference Center.  There is much ahead and it is now time to reach out.

        We also need guidance for funding possibilities, to work with more individuals who we could possibly help.

  I await your response.  Sincerely, Rose Foreman
