Friends of Red Horse News
Hi friends,
We're sending this e-bulletin in time to invite you to participate in our Fall Support Drive. The theme for this drive, which occurs October through December, is Nurturing the Herd: uplifting and supporting our equine co-facilitators. We'll be sharing horse stories, engaging in some quality horse time, and sharing our care and gratitude with the herd. Of course, awareness and support help us continue to contribute to equitable access to trauma-informed services in our community.
We are continually blown away by the strength of our community and your participation, and we look forward to connecting.
