We held three 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. 15649 81249 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 50000 55000 42500 52700 55000 255200 0 0 50000 55000 42500 52700 55000 255200 0 255200 0 0 0 255200 322319 1.00000 1.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $29606 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $655 Other Expenses.1003 Information Technology $2400 Other Expenses.1 Lodging/Accommodations $58932 Other Expenses.2 Equine Expense $1500 Other Expenses.3 Gifts $972 Other Expenses.4 Meetings/Meals $851 Other Expenses.5 Miscellaneous $553 Other Expenses.6 State Fees $25
