Topics include how to design safe and effective equine interventions, understanding mental health and learning challenges, and assessing horse responses during sessions.

The cost is $575 for the four-day ESMHL workshop and skills test and $450 for the three-day workshop only. Discounts are available for Bison Strides volunteers and college students.
