We held six 1-day retreats for 10 women per class, led by Patricia Elliott Rothchild, MFT, who facilitated the programs along with two horses provided by Ellen Walker. We created a forum through which the 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. 31298 102406 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 X 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 55000 42500 52700 55000 55000 260200 0 0 55000 42500 52700 55000 55000 260200 0 260200 0 0 0 260200 271134 1.00000 1.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $26430 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $698 Other Expenses.1 Lodging/Accommodations $72508 Other Expenses.2 Telephone/Fax $2400 Other Expenses.3 Meetings/Meals $2311 Other Expenses.4 Equine Expense $1500 Other Expenses.5 Gifts $1162 Other Expenses.6 Miscellaneous $654 Other Expenses.7 State Fees $25
