Our sweet Josen boy got all his incisors removed today. He’s doing pretty well and figuring out how to eat again! This surgery was necessary to keep him comfortable as he deals with EOTRH, a painful progressive dental disease.

You can support vet care for Josen at the link in the comments!

Last week someone was asking about our equine-assisted learning programs: "But... what do you DO?" If you haven't spent time learning from horses, it's hard to imagine what these gentle teachers can bring to a learner with an open heart! Their giant, gentle bodies and nervous systems bring us home to ourselves in such a unique way. Paired with the wisdom of our PATH-certified instructors and a community of co-learners, equine-assisted learning opens up understanding of our own minds and bodies in a way nothing else can.

Now you can experience it for yourself.

Aligned. Balanced. Connected. (ABC)

A 2-day adult workshop, open to the general public. Over two days, you'll connect with horses and humans as you find balance and alignment in yourself.
This is your chance to experience the magic of ANT & Northwest Therapeutic Riding Center's programs, while also supporting the life-changing opportunities our organizations provide to the community.

Details:
📅May 29-30
🕟Friday 5:30-8 p.m.
🕙Saturday, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
🌮Food included both days
$395 per person
