This event is part equine education/interaction, and part service! At this event, the girls will have direct contact with multiple horses, learn about energy and body work that is done to heal the horses through a practice called "Jin Shin Jyutsu", and will work on a couple of service projects involving barn organization, painting of horse training posts and more!
Karen and her non-profit namesake, Timber, are excited to host you at the farm! These spots are limited, so grab them while you can.
Minimum Participation: 10
Maximum Participation: 15
