Introductory Barn Experience (private event)

Our Introductory Barn Experience is part of the Connected Horse Sensory Engagement Program, designed to introduce groups from the community, senior living, and other organizations focused on those affected by memory loss to the therapeutic benefits of human-horse interaction. 

Participants are introduced to our research-derived equine activities, including mindfulness practices, hands-on activities (grooming, bathing, leading), sensory exercises, and group support. Trained facilitators guide on-the-ground interactions between horses and participants. It’s not only therapeutic—it’s also fun! Many participants report feeling a greater sense of awareness, confidence, and social connection after the session.

DETAILS

Community groups, senior living, or other organizations serving those who are affected by memory loss along with their care partners are welcome. Limit of 10 participants per session. All participants must be from the same organization. Transportation is not included. Safety and mobility screening is required prior to participation.

COST

Introductory Group Barn Experiences are offered at a special rate of $250 for up to ten participants.
