Community Gathering: Horses for Mental Health

Join us for a heartfelt in-person event where we’ll come together to connect, reflect, and celebrate the healing power of horses and community.

We’ll begin by hearing inspiring stories from local Nantucket families whose lives have been touched by In The Herd Cape Cod’s off-island programs. Then, we’ll tune into a powerful 90-minute virtual event, including:

🎥 A 20-minute sneak peek of Rescued Hearts
A moving new film that explores the profound healing bond between humans and horses.

🎤 A live panel discussion
Featuring filmmakers Dana Croschere and Krisanna Sexton, along with leadership from Horses for Mental Health, the national organization behind the Seen Through Horses campaign.

This gathering is part of Mental Health Awareness Month, and we’re honored to represent Nantucket in this nationwide effort to raise awareness about the impact of equine-assisted services.

At In The Herd Cape Cod, we’ve been working with Nantucket children for over a year on our farm in Sandwich. Our experiential programs are designed to develop leadership, mindfulness, and life skills—and the results have been nothing short of transformative. This program had been made possible through a grant received from the Town of Nantucket for Youth Behavioral Health.

Whether you’re a longtime advocate for animal connection or simply curious, we invite you to experience this meaningful evening and learn how horses are helping to heal hearts—right here in your own community.
