Wellness with Horses
PROGRAM REGISTRATION
Our Wellness with Horses program is uniquely designed to positively impact trauma-affected participants.
Currently, we serve two primary population groups:
-
Veterans, military-connected individuals, first responders and their families
-
Youth who are affected by family disruption, trauma, grief or loss, including those who have experienced foster care and/or adoption
What to Expect
​Participants must be able to commit to an 8-week session with weekly classes at our private Magnolia-based facility. Classes are typically one hour long; the session calendar may be adapted to longer duration classes over a shorter period of time as needed. Classes take place outdoors, in nature and may be affected by weather events. We typically start a new session each quarter.
We work hard to make these classes accessible -- the initial 8-week session is funded through grant awards when possible and available at no charge. Ongoing participation may be available on a fee-based schedule. Please understand that we have limited capacity and may not be able to accommodate every interested participant or may have a wait list until a spot is available.
Your Commitment
These programs are available because we believe strongly in the impact for our participants. To fully benefit, we do need a few things from you:
​
-
Consistent participation based on the agreed-upon schedule at the beginning of the session.
-
Timely communication regarding any changes or arising needs throughout the session.
-
Open feedback regarding your experience. What works, what doesn’t, and how we can best serve our community is all helpful.
-
An open mind and willing attitude. You will be surprised at what you learn and experience here with the horses!
Program Eligibility:
Participants must be at least 6 years old, able to participate outdoors in a small group environment, and not pose a threat to themselves, other people, or the animals. They must be able to follow directions and have safe behaviors in this dynamic environment.
