Driving down Highway 109 in Wildwood near Old State Road you will be delighted to see two herds of horses that live on the ranch that is Equine Assisted Therapy. EAT also has therapeutic horses at Longview Farm at Clayton and Mason.
Their mission is simple: create life-enriching horsemanship experiences that uplift and empower participants to enhance their well-being. It is both hoof to heart and heart to hoof work.
Listen here to our StoryCorps interview: https://archive.storycorps.org/interviews/podcast-from-the-pasture-equine-assisted-therapy/
Podcasts from the Pasture, featuring humans and horses is a space where we hope to enlighten, preserve and share stories connected to healing, and emotional wellbeing through Equine-Assisted therapy and Equine-Assisted learning and services.
In this episode join Lulu Bogolin, Executive Director, as she shares the vision and mission of EAT. “It’s the synergy of the humans AND the horses that support the betterment of everyone involved. We are a family and we work together to make this happen. We have a sense of community and know this works because it comes from our hearts. All of us: the staff, volunteers, the participants, and their families and yes, the horses. It’s very unique.”
What’s coming up:
Hoedown for Hope: October 10th. This fundraiser supports everything EAT does all year. Fund raisers, donations, community involvement, and family foundations, all of this happen. The funds provide the care of the horses, assistance for program organization, and scholarships. EAT-never turns anyone away for financial reasons. In addition there is no charge to veterans, first responders, and kids in the foster care system.
Tickets are available in mid-late August. Check the website and FB page.
Thank you to Lulu, the staff, the horses, the volunteers, and all of the participants at Equine Assisted Therapy.
Expect Good. Defy Gravity. Sparkle ON! Walk On! Experience the magic.
