At Flying Change, the word ”therapy” takes on a new meaning.

With the help of her horses, Lissa Corcoran, Founder and Executive Director for Flying Change, promotes emotional healing and wellness through equine therapy and learning. Founded in 1996, Flying Change Equine Therapy is one of the first equine assisted growth and learning programs in the nation.

And since then, the program has grown to also provide healing services for rescue horses as well.

The “Closer Look” team recently took a trip to Flying Change’s main location in Fairburn, Georgia.

In the first of our two-part series, above, we learn more about Flying Change’s mission meet the horses.

In part two of our series, we hear more of Lissa Corcoran’s personal journey to creating Flying Change, and the story of one of her clients, Jenny Millkey, who has benefited from equine therapy.
