I am excited to share that I am working with a terrific nonprofit, Shepard Meadows Equestrian Therapeutic Center in Bristol CT, on its 6th annual fundraising event and celebration of 20 years. The event will benefit our cherished horses, impactful programs, and nurturing facility.

Our vital resource herd is thoughtfully selected and trained for our healing work as we continually expand our programming to enhance mental and emotional well-being. Our initiatives serve real needs and carry profound significance, whether through therapeutic riding, supporting military veterans, youth development, horsemanship, horseback riding, or equine-assisted psychotherapy. Our dedicated staff—both two—and four—legged—are ready to share their gifts with all members of our surrounding communities.

**Our Mission**
To foster growth and overall well-being for all individuals, including those with special needs, by providing equine-assisted services (EAS) in a safe, caring, and professional environment.
**Our Vision**
To create meaningful change in the world, one person at a time, through innovative, non-traditional, and experiential equine-assisted services (EAS) that are impactful and transformative for individuals, families, and the broader community. We aspire to connect with, challenge, and empower individuals through a holistic approach while cultivating mindfulness and joy for all ages.
**Our Values**
