In this week's Out and About post, we've snapped closeups of some common sights here at HAHA.

The festivities are Saturday, October 4, from 3:30 to 8 pm, and there will be a whole lotta food, fun, music, and merriment! Get more details and RSVP at: https://www.facebook.com/share/17M1QjqYti/

In the next couple weeks, the team at HAHA will begin our second university research project, this time with Pacifica Graduate Institute in Carpinteria, CA. This research project is focused on the relationship between horses and clients in the equine-facilitated psychotherapy (EFP) process.

Chris Moran, LSCSW, Clinical Director, will be presenting next week at the Topeka Police Academy Critical Incidence Training regarding PTSD and the Equus Bellator program.

Much of the work we do at HAHA is helping people heal from trauma. Our Equus Bellator program was created to support first responders and people in the armed forces. Working with our equine partners promotes immediate cause-and-effect responses requiring the use of mindful coping skills, self-regulation, and awareness of our impact on others.

If you'd like to know more about our Equus Bellator program, send us a DM and we'll be in touch.

While we were Out and About, we snapped a few shots of our gentlemen sporting their fly gear. In addition to high fashion, these masks and boots help keep away the pesky flies.

When you come to our first ever Family Fall Festival Fundraiser on Saturday, October 4, money from the tickets goes directly to purchases like these fly masks and boots that help keep our herd happy and healthy all year long.

We hope to see you there, and maybe you can snap your own shot of dapper dudes!

📷Welcome to our "Out & About" photo posts where we capture and share scenes around our place!📷

One of our favorite spots is the pergola behind the barn overlooking the paddocks. It's the perfect place to ground yourself in the moment, listening to the water gurgling and the frogs croaking, watching the butterflies and bees flit from flower to flower.

See this spot during our barn tours at the upcoming Family Fall Festival Fundraiser on Saturday, October 4! RSVP and get the details at https://www.facebook.com/share/1KRnQkYdfk/
