About this event

LBGTQ+ Community Equine Event:

We are excited to invite members of the LBGTQIA+ community (and a plus one if you'd like) to join us at Laughing Buck Farm on August 30, 2025 at 4:00 PM for an Equine-Assisted Workshop, Limited to 10 participants (18+)

This intimate experience offers a chance to:

  • Connect with horses through engaging, ground-based activities. No riding experience is necessary, as all interactions will be from the ground.
  • Cultivate connections with peers in a safe, supportive, creative, and calming environment.
  • Deepen your relationship to self, nature, and animals; increasing a sense of well-being and belonging.

As prey animals, horses have evolved to attain a remarkable sense of awareness, perception, and attunement to their environment. They can accurately recognize and interpret micro-facial expressions and subtle changes to body language and behaviors. These are skills rooted in their biology and neurophysiology. Although, it could be said that this phenomenon extends beyond science. Often, horses serve as intuitive mirrors, helping us see ourselves and each other more clearly.

In our fast-paced, screen-driven world, authentic human connection tends to take a backseat. Creating genuine, meaningful relationships feels more vital than ever—especially within marginalized communities like LGBTQIA+. Many of us may feel isolated, searching for safe spaces where we can truly be ourselves.

This event is about just that—coming together as we are. No pretense, no expectations—simply arriving with an open heart, body, mind, and spirit.

Let’s create something beautiful together.
