Mary Lynn is a licensed substance abuse counselor and has been on staff at Pavillon International
since 1993. She developed the Pavillon Equine Program because she knew how healing horses had been in her early recovery from substance
abuse and was eager to share that gift with her clients. Mary Lynn and her husband Archie built Sawhorse Hill in 2000
and love sharing their beautiful farm with others. You can contact Mary Lynn at: marylynns@skyrunner.net

| Melinda O'Duggan, EAGALA I | ||||||||||
Melinda is our Professional Horse Person. Melinda has been supporting the services at Sawhorse Hill for three years. She brings a keen eye for what the horses are reflecting to the client and catches anything the therapist might miss in the client horse interaction.
