Can't square dance? We'll teach you! No experience is necessary at the Hay There! Hoedown on September 20. Professional caller Ann Carter will be guiding us every step of the way as we raise the roof (and funds) for Hold Your Horses.

Ann is known for her clear teaching style, positive enthusiasm, and her ability to make it a fun & successful night for everyone - new and experienced dancers alike! So dust off your boots and join us for a toe-tappin' evening in support of therapy with horses and nature!

SAVE THE DATE! We at HYH offer therapy that moves you - on the farm, with horses, and beyond. Experience the joy of movement for yourself at our Hay There! Hoedown Community Square Dance Celebration on Sept 20th!

No partner or dance experience is required. Just bring your boots (or sneakers), can-do-attitude, and be ready to experience the restorative power of rhythm, connection, and belonging at the farm! Your ticket supports Hold Your Horses' mission to provide transformative care through horses, nature, and human connection.

Want to learn more about local plants that can be found in your own backyard? Come to our Wild Plant Walk this Friday, August 1! Join us to learn some cool facts like these:

🌿 Plantain is a plentiful w**d many of us have walked on. It can be used to remove pain and swelling while drawing out venom from a wasp sting!

🌸 Yarrow can be used to prevent bruising after an accidental hit or to stop bleeding quickly. Simly pick the plant wild and use!

🌱Stinging nettle was once used in Europe to bring back circulation and feeling to individuals with neuropathy or even paralysis. Not always with success.

🦋 Monarch butterflies share a special bond with milkw**d, as it is the only plant on which they can lay their eggs and their caterpillars can feed.

This event is free, although donations to support our therapy services are appreciated. Learn more 👉 https://www.holdyourhorses.org/event/wild-plant-walk/
