She is and an innovator in the field of Equine Experiential Learning and a writer on the subject of Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy, according to her website.

The event is sponsored by Antioch University and The Riding Center. Attendees may attend one day or three days, and some scholarships are available. No horse experience is necessary.
According to villager Faith Morgan, who is bringing the workshop:
“I was a little girl who just had to have a horse. Classes at the Riding Centre, begging until my parents bought Smokey Joe, an old Riding Centre horse. I rode him everywhere with other YS kids. I’m 69 now and horses have a new place in my life, as I learn from Linda Kohanov of Arizona, how interacting with them can be empowering and healing. To share this, I have invited Linda to lead a workshop [this weekend.]”
