Molly Sweeney

Molly Sweeney is founder and now Director Emerita of the Horses and Human Research Foundation. She is originally from Chagrin Falls, Ohio, where she was blessed to grow up with horses in her back yard and still has 5 horses in her pasture in TX. Molly became involved with Equine Assisted services in 1990, when she started volunteering with SIRE, a local program in Houston TX. Molly was a volunteer there for over 20 years, was the Equine Director evaluating horses for the program and also served multiple terms as the Board President. She served on the NARHA (now PATH, Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International) Board from 1996 to 2002. Molly says she is not a researcher herself, but has never outgrown that childhood phase where one is always asking, "But WHY?"
