Changing Leads was started in 2006 by Mary McNeal and Darla Garon to offer Equine Assisted Learning and Therapy to Baton Rouge and surrounding areas. It is the mission of Changing Leads to give people the opportunity to learn about themselves through the experience of working with horses in order to better their lives. This is acheived through various exercises designed to allow a person or group to gain important insight into the way we behave and react to new challenges.
