This will be our last program this spring! Join us at the MKE Urban Stables for an evening of equine assisted learning. This month matches will have the opportunity to meet an author who has written a book about her Friesian horse, Zeus. She is excited to share this story which is about a little girl who meets the challenges of having her first horse. This book is about patience, learning to trust, compassion and communication with a horse. Matches will be able to engage with a Milwaukee Mounted Patrol officer and his equine partner and the therapy horses who work at the Urban Stables. Dinner provided.
