  • 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

  • Thanks for a Magical Benefit

    Thanks for a Magical Benefit

    June 14th was a day that was filled with many significant things – and our Blue Rider Benefit was one of them. Cloudy and cool weather threatened our plans again, but gave way to a magical afternoon and evening. The atmosphere was beyond what we could have hoped for. Being able to include the horses in the festivities was the way it should be – they are the true stars.The bugs didn’t dare come and change the mood. Seeing so many faces here all for the same cause – to help uplift our work – makes our hearts overflow with gratitude. Our clients are often our heroes and we are so grateful to be able to continue our mission through the support we get.

    Special thanks to our underwriters: Bilmar Veterinary Services, DeadRiver Company, John Field TreeService Inc., and Guido’s Fresh Marketplace. Also many thanks to our donors: Taft Farms, Wards Nursery, Domaneys Liquors and FineWines, Extra Special Teas, Egremont Fire Department, Red Rock Volunteer Fire Company, and David James Catering.

    Many people gave hours of volunteer time to make this happen. Our MC Tom Gage and our musicians, The Wanda Houston Band, rounded out our fabulous evening, along with a great line-dancing interlude. Every person that was there brought their own special energy to make this event magic. Thanks!!
