Healing With Horses

Partnering with the Bertolon Center for Grief and Healing of Care Dimensions (formerly Hospice of the North Shore), this new program for grieving parents, grandparents, and adult siblings will provide opportunities to experience the therapeutic power of the horse. Through groundwork exercises such as grooming, leading, and other horsemanship skills we invite participants to come together in a novel healing environment with others who understand – and with horses who are patient and nonjudgmental. Initial programs will all be unmounted with the possibility of adding riding as participants progress and are ready. No horse experience is required and all participants will be encouraged to move at their own pace under the guidance of a PATH Intl. therapeutic riding instructor. A counselor from the Bertolon Center for Grief and Healing will also be present.

If you have any interest in this new program, please contact Jenna Turcotte, Program Director at Windrush Farm, at [email protected] or 978.682.7855 (office number) to ask questions or set up a visit to the farm. Once we have enough interest, we will set a date for an informational meeting to discuss the program in more detail and figure out the best timing for a hands on pilot program with the horses. We want this program to fit your schedule and your interests, so we would love your input! We look forward to seeing you at the farm!
