“…Despite instances of regret, the benefits of community-based decision making have been documented as early as 1980 (Voight et al, 1980) and Facebook is an extension of this concept, with groups becoming an online community people feel they can trust. This is particularly true of "local" groups or groups that are familiar due to their location, members we know and common theme to us.…”

The aims of this project are to firstly explore whether recreational horse owners in New Zealand are using equestrian-themed groups on Facebook to gain knowledge and advice on matters of horse husbandry rather than using more evidence- based methods, and secondly to gather insights about the impact this form of decision- making can have on horses. The research also explores reasons why professionals appear unable or unwilling to interact or respond to posts seeking or giving advice and replies to posts, even when the advice given is inappropriate to the situation, inaccurate, incomplete, and therefore compromises the welfare of the horse through poor decision making by owners. The ramifications of interacting or ignoring Facebook posts and advice given in equine-themed Facebook groups that the professionals have been tagged in, or that they come across in their personal Facebook dealings is examined as well. The significance of this study is that it highlights the effect on the management of horses, and on equine professionals that casual advice given on Facebook has. Previously published theory on New Zealand Facebook users and their motivation neglects to address advice sought for animals and particularly horses. This report demonstrates to what extent and in what circumstances Facebook users in New Zealand equestrian-themed groups are likely to ask for or give advice by inviting group members to complete an anonymous online survey. 160 people replied to the invitation to take part in the anonymous survey and data from 156 valid responses was analysed. The results are then discussed in a series of interviews with a range of equine professionals from around New Zealand. The mixed methods approach used in this project allowed me to firstly canvas a broad number of New Zealand horse owners on Facebook quantitively, and then to develop auto ethnographical learning through collegial discussion in the interview section.

This paper examines the theoretical concept and the operational patterns of consultatlon, that can be a major component in the helping repertoire of counselors The author uses the Three-Dimensional Intervention Model to graphically illustrate the common base and the specific differences of counseling and consultation and to identify the natural overlap of the two professional functions The graphic matrix also points out the degree to which the range of counselor interventions broadens through the use of consultation with individuals, groups, institutions, and the community at large Practical examples that help clarify the value of consultation for effective counselor functioning are drawn from professional work with disabled persons and their families
