Ivy Hill Therapeutic Equestrian Center invites you to join us for a Virtual Story time with one of our treasured therapy horses.

PERKASIE, PA 4/27/2020 - Ivy Hill Therapeutic Equestrian Center - the leading therapeutic equestrian center in the region serving individuals with cognitive, physical, emotional, behavioral and psychological needs - is continuing to find ways to connect with their riders and community by inviting them back to the barn for a virtual story book reading with the Therapy Horses.

Our first story time took place on Facebook Live Saturday, April 25th and was a great success. Lauren Kosci, Volunteer Coordinator, led a reading of I am Peace, A Book of Mindfulness by Susan Verde. Lauren was joined along side Pebbles, a small, white therapy horse with a big personality. Pebbles is a barn favorite and the riders were over joyed to see her and be able to spend time with her.

“In the special needs community many of our riders thrive with a routine. With their lives being changed with having to stay at home due to COVID-19, I am grateful we are able to offer a small sense of normalcy being able to see their therapy horses,” said Laura Brockett-Strausser, Executive Director of Ivy Hill Therapeutic Equestrian Center. “We are excited to be able to virtually open our doors and invite our riders and community back to a place that so many of us consider a home away from home”.
