Wednesdays

April 29th - Spring Chickens: Birds, Brushes & Belonging: A playful spring-themed class celebrating birds, horses, and creativity. Participants will explore gentle mindfulness, meet and brush the horses to help them shed their winter coats, and learn to recognize fun Minnesota bird calls before creating simple bird-inspired art. A joyful way to welcome spring and connect with the sanctuary’s feathered and four-legged friends.

May 13th – Walk With Me: Horse Mirroring & Mosaic Making: Participants will learn to mirror a horse’s movements, walk together in soft, steady rhythm, and create a simple found-object mosaic to take home or give away. This gentle class focuses on connection, creativity, and the quiet joy of moving in harmony with our rescue herd.

May 27th – Joyful Noise: Our final spring class celebrates the creativity and fresh energy of early summer. Participants will spend time on AHHS’s new bridge, painting their own flower pot and planting a spring bloom while listening to the soothing sounds of water, birds, and a gentle sound bath. We will also learn how to safely feed the horses and check for fresh chicken eggs.
This experience blends seasonal art, outdoor mindfulness, and meaningful animal interactions—a beautiful way to welcome early summer and celebrate creativity, community, and belonging at AHHS.
