Activate! Chris Herring, People and Animal Learning Services (PALS)


Listen Later

Chris Herring has been around horses her whole life. She understands the special bond that can happen between a horse and a person, and now she puts that bond to therapeutic use through People and Animal Learning Services (PALS). This innovative “equine-assisted learning center” harnesses the connection between people and horses to help individuals overcome their challenges. It started out focused on people with disabilities, but now People and Animal Learning Services helps a much wider spectrum.

Activate! is a partnership between WFHB and the City of Bloomington Volunteer Network, working together to build a strong, healthy and engaged community. You can learn more about volunteer opportunities in the WFHB listening area at bloomingtonvolunteernetwork.org or by emailing [email protected].

 The PALS Community Barn Sale is happening on August 24 from 7am to 2pm!
