I just wanted to thank you so much for including this healing of the winter “blahs” in the Teens section of the Sentinel. It is such a helpful article. I read and listened to it over and over. I even shared it with a friend, who found it very helpful, too.

As someone who is passionate about horses, I was delighted to read Jessica Mandt’s beautiful and inspiring testimony about the rescue of her horse, Oriana. The overcoming of intense fear was most heartening and encouraging, and I thank Jessica and Laura for submitting this to the Sentinel for all readers to share their relief and joy at the satisfactory outcome.
