WHAT: FREE Open House, Stockhands Horses for Heali

WHAT: FREE Open House, Stockhands Horses for Healing (3788 Olentangy River Road, Delaware)

WHEN: This FRIDAY, MAY 13, 4-7 p.m.

WHY: This FREE event is open to the public and is sure to be an evening of fun and learning. Not sure what this is all about? Well, Stockhands Horses for Healing is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization providing equine facilitated therapies to veterans, adults, and children with developmental, mental, physical, and emotional disabilities and challenges.
This Friday’s event serves to celebrate folks in recovery, and to spread the word about all the good work done through this very special program.

The Delaware County Sheriff’s Office is a sponsor, and the County itself is a key stakeholder, as this program supports County initiatives by offering aid to veterans and people in recovery involved in the criminal justice system.

So, if you’re looking to get a great start to your weekend, come on down to the Open House! *Dinner will be provided by Hot Chicken Takeover!!!
