About the horses:You'll meet a herd of horse cared for by Project ComeBack. Their mission is to reeducate rescued horses through a series of experiences with a variety of people. Some of the horses in the herd are more familiar with people while others prefer to be left in the company of other horses.To aid in the interaction between guests and horses, facilitators from Equine International will be present.It is a large pasture and cannot guarantee which or how many horses will show their curiosity to watch the yoga class or be interested in meet and greets afterwards. As part of their reintegration process, please respect their boundaries and follow the guidance of Equine International's facilitators.

Agenda
