We held a 1-day retreat for 10 senior women, led by Patricia Elliott Rothchild, MFT, who facilitated the program along with two horses provided by Ellen Walker. We created a forum through which the elders learned skills to optimize their health and happiness by working with horses. 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. 4800 75378 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 45000 50000 55000 42500 52700 245200 0 0 45000 50000 55000 42500 52700 245200 0 245200 0 0 0 245200 204403 1.00000 1.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $22600 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $440 Other Expenses.1 Lodging/Accommodations $54388 Other Expenses.2 Meetings/Meals $1768 Other Expenses.3 Computer expenses $1188 Other Expenses.4 Gifts $898 Other Expenses.5 Equine Expense $500 Other Expenses.6 Miscellaneous $420 Other Expenses.7 State Fees $25
