Got Your 6 Horsemanship is a program sponsored by Upper Canyon Outreach, a 501(c)3, to provide rest, relaxation and wellness to veterans. This is a 3 day Equine Facilitated Wellness Program. Participants will learn basic horsemanship skills while developing an authentic connection to their horse. Meals, lodging and the course are all included. The only thing participants need to pay for is transportation to and from UCO. Anyone that can show proof of deployment qualifies, a DD214 form is sufficient.

The Level 1 Got Your 6 Horsemanship class will be a 3 day course. This class requires no previous horse experience. The classes will be held 27-29 May 2023 from 0900 to 1700. All meals and lodging will be provided. At the beginning of the course each participant will be paired with a horse that they will then work with throughout the program. Each participant will learn the skills to become leaders for their horse. Skills that will be taught and completed at the beginning of each session will include, but will not be limited to: catching their horse from the dry lot, tying their horse safely, grooming their horse, joining up with their horse (round pen work) and

prepping their horse for the day's activities. Before participants catch their horses in the morning, they will be briefed on the day's goals and objectives. This way they will know if they need to saddle their horse or if the majority of the activities will take place on the ground. Each session will end with a hotwash to review the activities and learning objectives of that day. Participants will arrive on 26 May and can be picked up at the airpot in Bozeman at 3 pm and dropped off at the Bozeman airport at 10 am on 30 May. A more detailed course description is available upon request. The class is capped at 11, so if interested, please register soon. Please feel free to share this with all veterans.

Donna has always said that the land that UCO is on has healing components to it, Upper Canyon Outreach was created to bring courses, retreats and trips that are designed to do just that, heal.
