Dear Editor: The article “A little horse sense tames Halloween,” by Lee Sensenbrenner and Steven Elbow, was a dramatic testimony to the power of two things: a nonviolent approach to aggression and the healing power of animals.
I was moved by the description of the mounted officers moving among the confrontational crowd and the resulting ability to quell the threat of violence with a peaceful approach. The presence of the horses seems to have been instrumental in this endeavor.
