Hope And Healing Academy

This Out and About post features a morning a while back where we caught a few picture-perfect moments of our herd coming in for their breakfast.

Thank you to the all the military service members who have served our country.

If you are in the service or a first responder--or you know someone who is--take a look at our Equus Bellator program. Our program addresses the experiences specific to service issues by working to improve the your inter- and intra-personal relationships, mindfulness, coping skills, body awareness, and self-regulation.

Ever have a colleague tell you they're "heads down" getting work done? Well, out here at HAHA, heads down usually means heads in a bucket!

This week's Out and About post features a few more closeups of things you'll find around the property. If you came to our Fall Fest, do remember seeing any of these?

Thanks to those who came out and supported us last week at Fall Fest, and thanks as always to the clients, volunteers, and referrals who support the program throughout the year, spreading the word and making our work possible.

We've recovered from our first ever family Fall Fest, which we're happy to report was a great success! Huge thanks to our 85 attendees--thanks to you, we now have $1685 to support the health and happiness of our equine partners. We'll use these funds for food, veterinary care, and other enrichment activities.

A huge thanks also goes out to the band, the donors, volunteers, and businesses that helped us put this fundraiser together.

If you're interested in helping us plan next year's event -- or if you want to know more about the program and our work, drop a comment or send us a DM. We'd love to hear from you!
