GOALS OF EVERY HORSE
HANDLER, whether riding or
working the horse in hand,
is to change gaits and
direction smoothly. Most
horses learn to do this
fairly easily with a little
teaching.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 0px;

font-size: 14pt;">If only it
could be as easy for us
humans to make needed
transitions in our lives. It
takes more than education
for people to change
direction and overcome
obstacles. For many people
caught in addiction and
other destructive behaviors,
it takes faith and
encouragement - and it
sometimes takes a miracle.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 0px;

Changing Gaits, an
equine-assisted addiction
therapy facility near Brook
Park, Minn., they teach
about faith and provide
plenty of encouragement and
support. And God provides
the miracles.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 0px;

font-size: 14pt;">Founder
and director Nile "Guy"
Kaufman says his horse
Shadow is the inspiration
behind Changing Gaits. About
10 years ago, Kaufman found
his way out of a lifetime of
alcohol addiction through
faith in Jesus Christ. A
city kid who grew up in St.
Paul, Kaufman migrated to
East Central Minnesota a few
years ago, where he fell in
love with a young Arab
gelding at Wild River
Stables east of North
Branch. Shadow was just
about as green as Kaufman,
but together they learned to
make the always magical
horse-human connection and a
bond was formed. Somewhere
in the back of Kaufman's
mind a dream began to form,
too, of using horses to help
people in the way Shadow had
helped him make the
transition from addiction to
sobriety to a healthy life.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
font-size: 14pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
font-size: 14pt;">Eventually
Kaufman became a trail guide
at Wild River Stables and he
and Shadow became an
inseparable team. Then the
unthinkable happened. On
June 29, 2004, Kaufman
arrived at the stable and
went to catch Shadow, only
to find him suffocated with
twine wrapped around his
throat. "His head was
swelled up as big as a
hippopotamus," Kaufman
recalls. "His eyes were
literally bulged out of his
head and blood and mucous
were pouring out of his</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
font-size: 14pt;">When
Sunrise Equine Veterinary
Services personnel arrived,
they said it was the worst
case of strangulation they
had ever seen. The vet
recommended putting Shadow
down immediately. But
Kaufman refused. "You don't
understand," he said. "I
need this horse. We have a
deal with God to save kids."
With Shadow near death,
Kaufman insisted that the
vet perform an emergency
tracheotomy in the field.
The vet expertly rigged a
makeshift tube out of a
syringe, which Kaufman held
in place in Shadow's throat
during the long drive to
Stillwater Veterinary
Clinic.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
font-size: 14pt;">While
watching the vet work,
Kaufman continued to pray.
"I told the Lord that if it
was His will for Shadow to
survive, I would dedicate
the rest of my life to His
work," he said.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
font-size: 14pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
font-size: 14pt;">Shadow did
survive, miraculously. "The
vet told me Shadow was one
in a million and I got the
one," Kaufman said. "I told
him I wondered if the other
999,999 had faith in Jesus
Christ."</p>

font-size: 14pt;">Changing
Gaits was born out of this
experience, Kaufman
explains. That summer he
resigned his job in the
Cities, after 21 years with
the same company, and moved
to Pine County. By the fall
of 2004, Changing Gaits was
a reality with the
construction of a home and
100- by 120-foot indoor
arena, thanks to help from a
friend. Since that time an
outdoor arena, paddocks,
trails and other facilities
have been added. Kaufman is
now a Certified Equine
Specialist through the
Equine Assisted Growth and
Learning Association
(EAGALA) and through Greg
Kersten's OK Corral.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
font-size: 14pt;">Then there
are the horses. Starting
with Shadow, they began
arriving, one by one. Each
has made a difficult
transition in its life -
many from abuse or neglect.
Kaufman explained that each
horse has a past to
overcome, just like the kids
and adults they are helping.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
font-size: 14pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
font-size: 14pt;">Changing
Gaits is a 501(c)(3)
non-profit organization.
Kaufman is assisted by a
licensed and board-certified
drug and alcohol counselor
Cheryl Shanahan of Stacy,
Minn.; and many volunteers.
They offer a non-riding
program of equine-assisted
addiction services using
horses as a tool for
teaching clients how to deal
with emotions, people and
situations. The licensed
counselor and equine
specialist work together to
design sessions that
challenge clients to
identify and use skills such
as non-verbal communication,
problem solving and
teamwork. Their main focus
is adolescents, but they
have helped many adults find
sobriety and faith also.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
font-size: 14pt;">Tax-deductible
donations are always needed
at Changing Gaits. These can
be in the form of hay or
other supplies and equine
services, as well as
monetary contributions.</p>
