  • Workshop Series – Consent & Boundaries

    Workshop Series – Consent & Boundaries

    Join us on Sunday June 29th for the second of our series of workshops on Consent and Boundaries

    How do we find consent with our horses- how can we get our horses to answer yes?

    This workshop looks at communicating with horses through body language and intent, and how the same body language and intent can carry into your daily life. 

    We will discuss the idea and definition of consent, mainly in the context of horses, but applicable to all walks of life. Gain a better understanding of how to set boundaries, and why clear boundaries are beneficial to everyone involved.

    $250 per person

    10:00 to 2:00, light lunch provided.

    There may be the opportunity to ride, but riding experience is not necessary.

    Email info@bluerider.org for more information, or to sign up.

    Future workshop dates:

    July 13
    August 10
    September 14

  • Giving Tuesday 2024

    Giving Tuesday 2024

    UPDATE 12/4: WE DID IT! ✨️🐎

    Thanks to all of you – everyone in our community – we met, and then exceeded, our Giving Tuesday goal! We had wanted to raise $7,500 (the cost of horse care for the herd for one month). Instead, we raised $8,400 and with a matching grant of $7,500 (thanks to our amazing board members, who matched our donations dollar-for-dollar) our grand total is (drumroll please 🥁) $15,900.

    We are so in awe of the support we receive from you, our friends near and far. It means the world to us and our horses 💙

    Join the global Giving Tuesday movement and make this season one of radical generosity to support our amazing, loving equines with their daily needs.

    In the spirit of GivingTuesday, we are asking for your donations so that we can continue our mission to put people and horses together in a holistic, educational environment where, through their mutual therapeutic experiences, they can broaden the scope of their lives.

    Join the global Giving Tuesday movement and make this holiday season one of radical generosity to support our amazing, loving equines with their daily needs.

    Our cost to feed and provide medical, dental, and hoof care for our hard working horses and donkeys can be as much as $90,000 per year! They are worth every penny of that, but as we all know, money doesn’t grow on trees – or in our pastures – so on behalf of our equines we are asking our community to toss something in the feed bucket for Bella, Fritz, Zora, Mystery, Tonka, Mia, Marcy, Hekla, Rico, Sprite, Billy Boy, Taquito, Arlo, Svadi, and Garuda.

    Our goal is to raise $7,500 (enough for one month of equine feed and care) by Giving Tuesday on December 3rd. Please pitch in any amount you can.

    If you are unable to give monetarily, please help out by spreading the word and encouraging your friends, family, and community members to give whatever they can. Every bit helps to support the important and joyful work we do here at Blue Rider Stables.
