Who We Are

Our Herd includes incredible horses that are partners in our program. It's also people living with dementia, their care partners, and others who create a space built on trust, presence, and connection. Together, they form a community where relationships are honored, and no one walks the journey of dementia alone.

Upcoming Programs

Connect with others for mutual support and community. Participate in meaningful activities that promote purposeful engagement, encourage independence, build confidence, and foster empowerment.

Veteran Specific

It Takes a Herd has several veteran-specific programs planned for 2026. These programs reflect It Takes A Herd’s commitment to expanding access, building partnerships, and ensuring that veterans and their families are not left to navigate these challenges alone.
