Marshall, NC: It’s Spring!  Horse Sense of the Carolinas is celebrating the warmer weather with its Quarterly Open House at the farm located five miles west of Marshall at 7014 Meadows Town Road on Saturday, March 23, 2024, from 11am to Noon.  

It’s a free event at the outside arena on the farm to learn more about equine assisted psychotherapy where certified therapists, equine professionals, and horses reach out to veterans, first responders, children and youth at risk, and other survivors of trauma. 

There will be information on future events and projects from Heart of Horse Sense, the program’s partnering non-profit organization that raises funds through grants and donations that provide low cost and complimentary therapy for individuals so they can concentrate on healing and rebuilding their lives. They also train, educate, and fund qualified equine programs in western North Carolina.

It’s an easy 19-mile drive from Asheville via New Leicester Hwy, or from Weaverville through the town of Marshall.  Driving directions are posted on the website at Horse Sense of the Carolinas:   www.horsesenseotc.com 

Volunteers will welcome guests at the farm entrance, directing cars up the driveway.  Look for the cowboy on horseback guiding folks where to park adjacent to the outdoor arena.  There’s a grassy area for viewing the horse demonstration and ample space to bring lawn or camp chairs for comfort.  The farm gate will be open by 10:30am to arrive and get settled before the program begins.
