December’s Meeting Topic: Equine-Assisted Learning, Therapy and Coaching

Equine-assisted learning, therapy and coaching is highly effective and fast-growing. Horses are used as our partners to help heal trauma of all kinds, improve leadership and teamwork and provide personal and professional growth. Join us in December to hear from a panel of 3 experts how this unique method of healing and coaching works, why it is so effective and why working with horses can be so powerful.
