3rd Annual Kaylie Meyer Memorial Fundraiser | Chip Shots
September 28 @ 1:00 pm - 6:00 pm
$5 – $55.00This family friendly event is a day filled with fun at Chip Shots in Rochester, MN for a good cause. Here is a little background:
Kaylie’s dream was to become a therapist and help people suffering with mental illness or disabilities utilizing horses. She had spent years riding and being around horses and in doing so had learned how valuable a relationship with a horse could be. As she began learning about equine assisted psychotherapy she realized horses are extremely sensitive and can pick up on body language which in turn provides valuable feedback to the individual.
Kaylie’s family and friends established this Memorial Fund after she passed away from blood clots in 2022. Though she never had the chance to carry out her dream, it lives on through this fund which goes to the H.O.P.E. Ranch Foundation (HRF). HRF provides crucial financial support for equine assisted psychotherapy being carried out in SE MN by EAGALA certified practitioners. Funds raised will support programs to feed and care for the animals utilized in the work, including veterinary, farrier, stable, pasture care, and other services necessary to provide for the wellbeing of the animals.
