Please join us for our inaugural fundraising event to support therapeutic offerings for local families. Connecting horses, mental health and wellness programming for those in need.
100% of the proceeds will go to support scholarships for equine-facilitated programming and services.
The mental health and well-being of children and families in our community are challenged like never before. The pandemic has incited fear, grief, and isolation along with increased stress on family resources. This has caused an unprecedented need for mental health support and a sense of connection and belonging. Join us at Snapdragon Farm and Stables, the home to Natural Wisdom Counseling. Develop a deeper understanding of how our work facilitates and promotes relationship, healing and creative expression.
This event is limited to 30 guests to enhance the intimacy of the event and to afford mindful attention to COVID-safe practices. Guests are encouraged to follow current public health recommendations, including vaccinations for COVID-19. If you are feeling unwell or have had a recent COVID exposure we ask that you stay home.

Can’t join us, but want to support the cause?
100% of the proceeds will go to support equine-facilitate programming and services.
If you wish to improve the health and well-being of children and families in our community, but are not able to attend the event, you can also make a donation or sponsor a therapy horse!
Donations will be added to the total scholarship fund.
Sponsoring therapy horses will help offset veterinary costs, farrier costs, bodywork, and ongoing training that supports the horses in being happy, healthy, and available as partners in the therapeutic work. On average, it costs about $375 per month to feed and care for one horse.
