ABOUT

As the old saying goes, “you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink” ... well, what if a horse could lead our front line heroes to healing from the ravages of the COVID-19 crisis? What if a horse could show them how to trust, feel safe, and find themselves again?
 
There are few, if any, programs available that offer equine assistance specifically for nurses, doctors, and other front line health care workers. 

Horses are sensitive and astute, aware of their surroundings and quick to react. Horses don’t judge and horses don’t lie. But they provide immediate feedback, significantly enlightening the participant about the horse and themselves. By including horses in specifically designed educational experiences, equine-assisted specialists have greatly multiplied the participant’s rate of success to self-discovery and positive change. Working with horses creates a unique memory that the attendee will remember far longer than conventional methods.

The Newfoundland Pony Conservancy Center is working with front line workers including nurses, doctors, and other medical staff who are facing the challenges of  COVID-19 in their workplace.

The Conservancy program’s facilitator is an RN who lost two family members to COVID-19 and has family on the front line. 
Please note - All facilitators are professionally trained and certified. 


At the Newfoundland Pony Conservancy Center, critically endangered Newfoundland ponies guide participants through a series of objective based exercises that facilitate life skill experiences, promoting knowledge and insight of self, building relationships with horses, and others. Working with the ponies is an enjoyable as well as  empowering experience.

We follow the latest CDC Covid-19 Guidelines

Heal the Heroes is pleased to offer this program free of charge to Covid Front Line participants. Assistance from our community, with fundraising, sponsorship, and donations, allows that to happen. 
Collectively, help us give back to these health care workers and first responders who risk their lives to save all of ours.
