Letter from Lulu ...
Hello-
To everyone at Equine-Assisted Therapy I would like to say thank you for the
wonderful welcome’s I have received, and I look so forward to meeting every-
one in person. I have very big shoes to fill but my heart and compassion for
EAT is very much the same as Ginni’s.
I look forward to helping take EAT to the next level and working as a team
and a family to keep our mission and core values in place.
Please feel free to reach out to me at any time with questions or comments
and again your support has been overwhelming.
Sincerely,
~ Lulu Bogolin

This spring we have been blessed with Service Groups who have come out and donated a full day of work at EAT - These groups painted, stained, pulled weeds, took down trees, cleaned our trails, our tack and our buildings, mulched, weed wacked and so much more - each were then invited to participate in a small Equine Assisted Learning class and got to be hands on with our herd.
Thank You to All for your Contributions !!

In case you see a cute lion on our property, don’t be alarmed - this is just Murphy sporting his new summer cut .
Volunteers are only allowed in the pastures if they are ( or are accompanied by ) an instructor or EAT trained leader.
Cell phones are NOT to be on/used once class starts through the dismount of the participant. (Special circumstances need to be addressed with the instructor before class starts)
When wearing summer attire to classes, please make sure they are an appropriate length to cover core body parts while bending and stretching... not just when standing in front of the mirror.
Thanks to All !!
