PARKER, Colo. — When the seniors from St. Andrew’s Village retirement community go on a ‘field trip,’ it’s usually to a place like a grocery store. But over the course of this summer and early fall, residents have been making a different kind of trip, to a meet-and-greet of sorts, to a local ranch.Slouka runs the “Equine Elders’" program, part of the larger Equine Partnership Program. Every few weeks, the seniors come out to spend time with horses.
The seniors were able to meet the horses as volunteers walked them by. Miniature horses were then brought out for the participants to pet and brush. You can tell from the smiles and laughs from the seniors, the program is good for the soul. But it can also be just what the doctor ordered.
