Joanne Cacciatore brushes horse Chemakoh at the Selah Carefarm in Cornville, Ariz., Oct. 4, 2022. Everyone has their favorite here, but horses may be the stars. Cacciatore believes they may even be more powerful than the counselors on site. Many tell of moving moments with a horse pressed their head to a grieving heart or lowered their face to the earth beneath them as they cried. "There's a resonance.
