I recently attended a volunteer orientation Nature’s Edge Therapy Center and felt the magic of this place the second I turned my car onto the driveway. I volunteered the next day as a side walker during two equine assisted speech therapy sessions and was beyond amazed at the calming effect that the horse had on the children and the amount of smiles and dancing and happy wiggles that were produced by the children! I think I smiled the entire time as well!!
At Nature’s Edge Therapy Center, the horses are family and are highly trained therapy partners.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month and the funds raised through this campaign will go directly to support the health and wellness of the therapy horses. The funds raised will provide veterinary care, hoof care, and nutrition so that they are able to continue to work with patients.
