EAT News Equine-Assisted Therapy

Letter from Lulu ...

Hello-

To everyone at Equine-Assisted Therapy I would like to say thank you for the

wonderful welcome’s I have received, and I look so forward to meeting every-

one in person. I have very big shoes to fill but my heart and compassion for

EAT is very much the same as Ginni’s.

I look forward to helping take EAT to the next level and working as a team

and a family to keep our mission and core values in place.

Please feel free to reach out to me at any time with questions or comments

and again your support has been overwhelming.

Sincerely,

~ Lulu Bogolin

Save the Date …. Hoedown for Hope



This spring we have been blessed with Service Groups who have come out and donated a full day of work at EAT - These groups painted, stained, pulled weeds, took down trees, cleaned our trails, our tack and our buildings, mulched, weed wacked and so much more - each were then invited to participate in a small Equine Assisted Learning class and got to be hands on with our herd.

Thank You to All for your Contributions !!

EAT New Instructors



In case you see a cute lion on our property, don’t be alarmed - this is just Murphy sporting his new summer cut .

Volunteers are only allowed in the pastures if they are ( or are accompanied by ) an instructor or EAT trained leader.

Cell phones are NOT to be on/used once class starts through the dismount of the participant. (Special circumstances need to be addressed with the instructor before class starts)

When wearing summer attire to classes, please make sure they are an appropriate length to cover core body parts while bending and stretching... not just when standing in front of the mirror.

Thanks to All !!

Please Welcome our New Instructors

Linds Roscoe Linds has been with EAT for many years and finally decided to become certified. We are so excited to have her as part of our team of wonderful Instructors and you may also see her in our office as part of our support team.

Lindsey Echele Lindsey has been an instructor at Castlewood Stables for many years and was excited to become part of our team here at EAT. Her degree in Horse Therapy and now certification from PATH along with her teaching experience make her a wonderful addition to our instructor team.

Hannah Dial Hannah has been a long time volunteer at EAT and also decided that becoming certified with PATH would be a great addition to her degree she is the process of earning in Equine Facilitated Well-ness. We are so excited to have her as an instructor and on our team.

We are so excited to have each of these amazing ladies so when you see them please congratulate them and welcome them to our family.
