We held five 1-day retreats for 5 women per class, led by Patricia Elliott Rothchild, MFT, who facilitated the programs along with one horse provided by Ellen Walker. Participants learned skills to optimize their health and happiness by learning about themselves and others by engaging in ground-based activities with the horses, and then discussing feelings, behaviors and patterns. Equine Therapy is known and documented to be a therapeutic means for helping people transform their lives and their relationships through the inspiration they find with horses, used for neurophysiological, cognitive, sensory processing and psychosocial challenges. Certain participants had discounted rates or no charge. 18139 104794 Ellen C Walker President 30.00 0 Ifeoma Ikenze Vice President 0.50 0 Pat Newmann Secretary/Treas 0.50 0 Richard Davis Board Member 5.00 0 false false false false false false false false 0 0 false false CA Ellen C Walker 45 Wildwood Lane Novato CA 94947 4152984414 false false false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 52700 55000 55000 55000 49000 266700 45166 72750 94086 105439 101508 418949 0 0 0 97866 127750 149086 160439 150508 685649 0 0 685649 0 0 0 0 97866 127750 149086 160439 150508 685649 1.00000 1.00000 0.00000 X Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $30565 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $1632 Other Expenses.1 Lodging/Accommodations $73347 Other Expenses.2 Telephone/Fax $2697 Other Expenses.3 Equine Expense $2387 Other Expenses.4 Dining $1607 Other Expenses.5 Gifts $1189 Other Expenses.6 Meetings/Meals $866 Other Expenses.7 Miscellaneous $710 Other Expenses.8 State Fees $50
