In this workshop with longtime TTouch practitioner and certified facilitator Paula Josa Jones, we will explore mindful, embodied touch to directly support your horse’s wellbeing, foster mutual nervous system regulation, and build a deeper foundation of presence, softness, and understanding.
October 3, 2026 | 2PM - 6PM
Enjoy live music from The Dan Zlotnick Band, The Downside Up and the 13 Hands House Band! Plus sweet treats, a bar car, and shopping with local vendors — all surrounded by the rescue horses of 13 Hands. Every purchase and every ticket directly supports our rescue work.
October 11, 2026 | 5 PM - 8 PM
We will be hosting an intimate sunset gathering with internationally acclaimed author, filmmaker, and equine‑assisted learning pioneer Rupert Isaacson.
Rupert is a globally recognized leader in neurocognitive equine therapy. His work began with his son, Rowan, inspiring the New York Times bestselling book and award winning documentary “The Horse Boy.” Through his travels around the world, Rupert has explored the powerful connection between horses, neuroscience, learning, and healing. What he’s found is that nature, movement, and animal connection can create a direct pathway to neurological regulation, communication, and joy.
During this conversation, Rupert will share insights from two decades of work developing groundbreaking frameworks that combine neuroscience, somatics, nature based learning and animal-assisted interactions to help neurodivergent children and adults thrive.
Your evening includes:
You don’t need to work with horses to benefit from Rupert’s experience and wisdom. This evening is open to all who love, care for, or work with neurodivergent youth including families, educators, OTs, therapists, EAL/P providers, and community program leaders.
Space is limited to ensure an engaging, conversational experience.
*Rupert will also be returning to 13 Hands this Spring for a hands‑on clinic centered on ground‑based Equine Assisted Learning*
October 22 - 25, 2026
Join Jennifer Cohen Harper for a restorative mindfulness retreat designed to help you rest, reset, and reconnect through practices supported by the presence of horses. During this immersive experience, you’ll explore connection through body language, breath, energy, and intention, with each day blending gentle movement, journaling, group discussion, and customized horse guided activities such as inviting connection, offering support, and moving quietly through the herd. Free time offers space to wander, reflect, create, or simply rest, and you’ll head home with practical tools to bring more steadiness, compassion, and authenticity into your daily life. This non‑riding retreat is open to all experience levels, with all horse interaction from the ground and tailored to individual comfort.
Oct. 29, 2026 | 1 - 4 PM
Led by Heather Meyer of Reimagine Horsemanship, this clinic is anchored in Heather’s relationship-based framework. It is a demonstration based collaborative experience that focuses on practical rehabilitation dynamics: using energy, space, timing, and consent to navigate moments of reactivity or resistance, establishing clear boundaries and building a calm, attentive partnership anchored in trust. Watch Heather work live with rescue residents and discuss what you’ve observed, ask questions and relate your learning to the horses you work with at home. Designed for anyone interested in compassionate horsemanship, equine behavior, and building trust-filled relationships with horses.
November 5 - 8, 2026
Join senior clinician Heidi Potter for an immersive journey into the heart of equine partnership and collaborative movement. This three-day unmounted intensive takes the conversation from the field into the arena. As we explore how we can move together with the horses in collaboration, you will learn to shift away from “telling” and into a true partnership where the horse finally feels understood — and so do you.
Deepening the Bond is designed for those with some horse experience or a prior introduction to Horse Speak. This clinic is the next step for those ready to move from understanding the language into an active, collaborative partnership.
