Therapeutic Horse Program Expands to Help Families Cope with Stress & Grief After Loss
For years, Loree Mahalchick has been providing therapeutic horseback riding, especially to children with special needs. She and her husband, Tom, run the nonprofit Horse Sense Therapeutic Center in Howell, New Jersey.
The couple's only son, Tommy, an avid ice hockey player, was prescribed oxycontin for several injuries, which eventually led to a heroin addiction.
Last June, while trying to protect a neighbor from an intruder, Tommy was murdered in his apartment building in New York City.
The Mahalchicks held an open house to announce the expansion of their program, in Tommy's honor, to include family members struggling with stress and grief caused by a loved one's addiction issues.
