Harnessing A Horse

Small Details in Morven Horse Barn Lead to Big Energy Ideas

The class was divided into small design teams of two or three students. The teams studied basic elements of the barn's comfort and livability, such as the quality of natural light in the stalls, which two teams focused on. Inside single stalls, one team used strings to trace the path of sunlight as it moves around throughout the day, while a second team used light meters to measure the pattern and intensity of light on every square foot of the floor. Based on those studies, the teams designed various diffusion and reflection panels to better distribute the natural light within the space. Better harnessing this relative coolness requires increasing the flow of air in contact with the concrete surfaces, Gibbons explained in the team's presentation. The duo proposed creating in-wall airways, perhaps a foot wide, in combination with a peaked ceiling installed over the stall, with a central hole in the ceiling that would create a chimney "stack effect," exhausting hot air out the opening and drawing in outside air through the wall airways. To further increase the surface area of contact between the concrete and the air flowing by, the in-wall airways feature a labyrinthine shape formed by small concrete fins extending inward, forcing the air to meander through the wall.  The water could even be heated by circulating it underneath a nearby composting area, where the bacteria generate heat as a byproduct of the decomposition process, suggested Ben Cohen, a professor of science, technology and society at the School of Engineering and Applied Science , who co-taught another Morven Summer Institute course on "Interdisciplinary Food Studies: History, Politics, and Technology." Facing the compressed schedule of the class, the team constructed a full-scale mock-up of a small section of one wall. A proper, full mockup would require further study and modeling to refine details like the airway's shape, height, and air intake and outlet, said Maupin, a rising fourth-year undergraduate in architecture. The width required for the airway could also be incorporated into a wall-mounted bank of useful features like desk space, bed space and seating, the duo suggested. The idea of creating natural air convection currents within walls has been done for centuries in many warm climates, and is used extensively in North Africa and the Middle East, Sherman said.

ON THE BACK OF A HORSE: Harnessing The Healing Power Of The Human-Equine Bond is an entrance into the spiritual world of horses, the devastation of raw human trauma, and the equine facilitated psychotherapy that can help heal it. Using narrative interviews and case studies of equine experts and psychology researchers, the reader is given entrance into the world of equine facilitated psychotherapy, and in doing so, taken on an epic journey to discover how it is that these magical creatures understand so much more about human trauma than we ourselves do. Using dramatic scenes, ON THE BACK OF A HORSE, gives the reader an understanding of just how people experience trauma, and why. What also emerges is an understanding of what horses do that, in many ways, prevents them from experiencing trauma as people do. While humans fallacies illuminate themselves, and the debilitating effects of trauma become evident, the reader is bolstered by examples of equine communication, bonding and emotional expression, providing a beautiful example of just how these amazing creatures can help people overcome trauma.

Clair Dorotik - has spent a lifetime around horses – growing up riding and training horses and later riding at many of the country’s top show barns – Claire, in many ways, understood horses before she understood people.
Because of the role horses have played in her life, Claire has made a specialization of equine facilitated psychotherapy, developing an equine assisted psychotherapeutic approach that has proved highly effective in restoring emotional and physical balance to those who have battled trauma, abuse, and eating disorders. This approach has been utilized by many recovery centers including Creative Care Recovery in Malibu, CA, The Canyon Recovery Center in Malibu, CA, and other facilities that have come to recognize the unique way in which horses can facilitate powerful healing experiences for clients.
