Carson Valley's Kids and Horses offers equine guided workshops for people living with dementia and their care partners
Kids & Horses in Douglas County has space available for their upcoming fall sessions for Connected Horse (R). The first fall session starts on Sept. 14. These workshops are free for participants, and are open to people living with dementia and their care partners.
The power of the human horse connection helps participants to feel relaxed, confident and more happy in the moment. It can also teach self compassion, stress reduction strategies, communication skills and mindfulness practices.
The workshops are 2.5 hours, once a week for 3 consecutive weeks. It is requested that you are able to attend all 3 consecutive sessions when you register. Prior experience with horses is not necessary. Participants engage with horses from the ground; there is no riding. Participants must be ambulatory and willing to participate as a pair in the workshop.
