ABOUT THIS MEETUP:
Anyone who has good intentions to support the Goat Walkabout program is welcome to attend! We want to start meeting many more people interested and willing to support the program. We would like to share our vision about the program with others!
We will be trimming hooves and grooming the herd! You'll learn goat farrier techniques as well as handling the goats in general. There are 11 goats in the herd so we have some work ahead but the goats need the love!
THIS IS FOR AN INCREDIBLE CAUSE!
GOAT WALKABOUTS MISSION STATEMENT:
“Goats Walkabouts is on a mission to provide goat hikes and goat walks as a form of animal assisted activities and animal assisted therapy to those who struggle with PTSD, Post War Veterans, those who have intellectual disabilities, those who are in recovery, and many others while offering the often held captive caprine species an opportunity to graze in freedom and explore in an ecosystem that resembles their natural and indigenous habitat.”
ABOUT GOAT WALKABOUTS ADVOCACY MEETINGS:
Goat Walkabouts is a Nigerian Dwarf goat hiking program that has an emphasis on PTSD recovery. Humans have hurting hearts and we have herds that have heavenly hooves to guide you and anyone else right to bliss. We just need everyone to know about it!
The program began as a therapy resource for the PTSD community but it is growing beyond. There are many places we want to visit because the goats are just that great! We want to visit senior homes because we've found that some of the elderly population have never even seen a goat! Wow! We want to hike with more PTSD survivors and anyone who thinks they can benefit!
We would like more advocates to be involved to train with the goats and grow the program with us through awareness raisers like Goat Parades around local lakes and parks with the goats. Imagine being a part of a goat parade and it is for a great cause!
This is great for the goats because goats are migratory animals. They are meant to migrate from place to place and eat lots of vegetation that is in season. Most goats never get to explore anything because they are stuck on a farm but we aim to change that. These goats are amazing and deserve to migrate so we hike our herds with the humans that need it most.
PTSD recovery is in demand and we have an incredible resource with our goat companions! Therapy comes in all forms and we have found an incredibly special resource.
Please join us and let's send a message to everyone together as a herd!
