Chris & Bec's Outback Wedding

Last year, Zach and I traveled to Western Queensland for the wedding of Bec and Chris Brayley. Bec and I met at Texas A&M while she studied abroad. We've kept in touch ever since, and it's been a dream to visit her homeland ever since. As luck would have it, we got to go to her wedding, and we had the privilege of photographing it. We've just said goodbye to our dear friends Chris and Bec after they came to visit us in Texas this past week. It was a privilege to share this couple's special day and I hope you enjoy the photos. The wedding preparations were held at a historic home on Maryvale sheep station, and the wedding took place at Chris's parents' sheep station in Morven. It was one of the most fun weddings I've ever attended!

Equine Mental Health Therapy article for Horse & Rider

Mental health disorders and therapy are a topic close to my heart. With so many tragedies in the news lately especially, I feel strongly about the need for more research to find therapy that works. One such method that has seen great success is the incorporation of horses into therapy. My article for the April Horse & Rider explored equine facilitated psychotherapy for troubled youth, sufferers of disorders such as schizophrenia and especially individuals afflicted with post-traumatic stress disorder. Surprisingly, horse therapy also has a place in corporate team building. I hope my article is informative to you. If you have any questions about this avenue of therapy, you can contact one of the sources in the article at PATHintl.org or you can email me at abigail(at)abigailboatwright.com and I can send you on to one of the other contacts I gathered during my research.
