All those who attend will learn firsthand how adaptive riding and therapy services (OT, PT, SLP) can improve the quality of life for children and adults with cognitive, developmental, emotional, medical, or physical challenges. Plus find out about our Summer Camp for ALL Abilities which offers ten weeks to choose from. Visiting the farm is a great chance to help get to know the horses, the lay of the land and get a leg up on what each child or adult might be doing, no matter which Mane Stream program they participate in. Anyone interested in finding more out about our PerformCare Approved Summer Day Camp should come to talk directly with the Camp Director. BRING A PAIR OF SHOES! Help Mane Stream keep shoes out of landfills, provide affordable footwear to people in developing nations AND raise much needed funds for our farrier costs for the Mane Stream herd. If you know someone who might benefit from one of the many programs Mane Stream offers, be sure to let them know about the Open House and encourage them to swing by!

One of the only programs of its kind in our area, Horses for Healing (H4H) is for individuals living with, recovering from and living life after cancer. Over the six-week program, participants will find new ways to deal with difficult and stressful health challenges through bonding with the horses and learning a new skill in a supportive environment. H4H combines groundwork, riding lessons and horse care as it creates community among the participants. For one hour each week, program facilitator, Kelly Champion, a PATH Intl. Certified Instructor, will guide the small group of participants in overcoming their personal challenges, whether physical or emotional and teach them to ride a horse. For some, it may be the very first time on a horse, for others it will be a return to a much-loved hobby. In fact, for many participants, part of the attraction of the program is the desire to regain a skill or recapture a memory from before their cancer diagnosis. Time spent with the Mane Stream horses is a wonderful aid to recovery, bringing joy and helping participants to relax and feel less stressed. Weekly activities are tailored to each person's capabilities based on how they are feeling that day. Participants may spend all their time grooming and bonding with a horse or move on to more physical activities. For more information contact Kelly Champion, at: kelly@manestreamnj.org or: 908.439.9636. Visit us online at: www.ManeStreamNJ.org.
