Barn Update:
March 28, 2018
Spring is here, the weather is warming and The Barn is busy, busy, busy!  We are excited that with the change in seasons, we have also been able to introduce new programming at The Barn.  We are now running bi-weekly groups for youth, teens and women through our partnership with mental health professional Tracy Thompson, MA, LPC.  We are also broadening our scope through our partnership with Harnessing Strength Rehab, LLC and Alexis Kendrick, Doctor of Physical Therapy, to offer Hippotherapy (Hippotherapy is a physical therapy approach utilizing the help of horses).

We are also busy with planning our upcoming Barn Benefit Weekend which will take place May 18th and 19th.  May 18th we will be hosting the first annual Barn Benefit Fundraising Dinner right at our Barn!  The night's events will include a silent auction, a short program, horse sponsorship, and a delicious dinner.  Tickets are $50 each and spots are limited, so email thebarnforel@gmail.com if you are interested in attending!

We are also hosting an open house at The Barn on May 19th from 12:00 - 3:00.  This event will include many fun, family friendly activities!  The event and activities are free and lunch will be available at purchase.

We hope to see you May 18th or May 19th, or maybe even both!  Also, remember that every Saturday morning, The Barn is open to the public from 9:30 - 11:00 am for Community Barn Time.  This is a free program and a great way to see what The Barn is all about and spend some time with our wonderful four-legged friends.  Just email The Barn if you plan to attend so we know how many to count on.

See you at The Barn!
