An Adult Equine Therapy Group offers a different way to explore loss through guided activities, hands-on interaction with horses, and opportunities to practice connection, responsibility, self-care, and leadership.

The calming presence of horses can create space to slow down, become more aware of emotions, and build confidence and coping skills while moving through grief.

No cost to participate. Registration is required by September 21.

Space is limited, and attendance at all four sessions is required. Please see poster for more details.
