COLORS WITH ALCOHOL INKS
Brady’s Equine Art Program developed by Artist Isabelle Truchon is open to children from 8 to 99. Participants are exposed to a variety of media and fun hands-on techniques in a natural equestrian environment. Each class tackles a project from start to completion. The atmosphere is fun and non-competitive, encouraging exploration and observation. Each class is 3 hours long, with breaks. All materials are included with the $10 materials fee.
This year’s Art Program proceeds are funding the Sensory Trail at Brady Therapeutic Riding. A sensory trail is a trail ride that incorporates natural and man-made elements and activities that involves all the senses – such as hills, bridges, flowers, music, or touch stations, and so on. The Sensory Trail benefits both rider and horse.
