4 week program for people age 55+

The Golden Hooves program recognizes that this season in a person's life is loaded with significant changes, that leave many people:

⦁ struggling with their identity and self-worth

⦁ challenged in managing their time and commitments

⦁ having difficulty relating to multi-generational family and communities

Enjoy a super fun and meaningful time in the great outdoors with our gentle, well-trained horses (no horseback riding). Every week The Golden Hooves will meet for 2 hours. There is a complete orientation and safety session.  Participants will be put into groups of 4.  They will then choose a horse (full size or miniature) to join their team.  Then, participants will make their way through a variety of engaging obstacles/activities with their horse, while a certified Equine Assisted Learning facilitator helps guide you. Each week has a clear objective for working through the course.  Every week will start with a briefing on the objective.  Then, the group heads out to the arena for about 45 minutes with the horses - grooming the horses and then doing the course with them.  A group debrief happens back at the barn, followed by a coffee social.

After 4 weeks, The Golden Hooves participants will be invigorated!  They will have a renewed confidence and skills to manage the many changes their next stage in life brings.  Plus, they will have made a few friends along the way (2 legged AND 4 legged!).
