We conduct Equine Therapy on one day of the retreat followed by a very mellow horse “whisperer” session of trying to get a horse to join-up with different Participants to show the importance of allowing the horse to accept you instead of being forced to do what you want them to do. If you want to participate in the joining process, please mark “Horse Whisper.”
