FORWARD TOGETHER (Ages 13–18)

This Equine-Assisted Growth and Learning program offers teens of first responders a unique, hands-on experience designed to build connection, resilience, communication, and emotional awareness through guided interactions with horses. This two-hour experiential workshop combines equine activities with practical life skills in a safe and supportive environment where participants can strengthen coping strategies, develop healthy relationships, and connect with peers who share similar experiences.

No horseback riding experience is required, and this program does not include riding.

Jenny Burnsed, MS LPC, ESMHL and Michelle Rickel bring 35+ years of experience working with kids and teens in a variety of therapeutic ways. www.equirhythm.org
