Great day of team development with Weyerhaeuser and Elite Training! The day was split between the high ropes course and equine assisted learning activities, with a focus on personal development and communication skills. We were very impressed by the Weyerhaeuser team and can't wait to have them back!

***The OWL's therapeutic riding program serves children and adults with a wide variety of physical, cognitive, and behavioral challenges. Our goal is that clients are as independent as possible, but many of our riders need the support of a sidewalker- someone who walks next to them during lessons, providing physical or emotional support. It is very rewarding- and great exercise! Volunteers with horse experience might also help as horse leaders.

What's up at the OWL during Winter Storm Fern?πŸ₯Ά

🐴 Enjoying their twice a day hot meals, unlimited hay buffet, and freshly de-iced water troughs. Vella pulled her shoe most of the way off just to keep life interesting.

🐒 Still safe and warm at the lodge, but has lodged a complaint about not having his hot water bottle (aka, Albert 🐷)

πŸ– 🐐 Looking disgusted by the weather and making full use of their heat lamps and hay piles.

πŸ‘§ Cold, tired, and wondering who is bringing their next hot meal 🀣
