We had wonderful sessions 1 & 2 and as we move into session 3 next week, I am putting out a call for more volunteers! Our classes run Weds 130-7pm, Fri 9-2 and Sat 9-4. We are located in DeWinton (5 mins south of Calgary). We offer a fun environment , laughter, great exercise and the chance to help out with an amazing program.
There are also chances to hop on our horses to warm them up and get some horse therapy yourself!
If this interests you, we would love to chat! Pls contact shirleyperry@gmail.com and she will fill you in on all the details! Hope to see some new faces soon! 😉
