RELAXATION WITH ANIMALS PROGRAM
A Place to Breathe. A Place to Connect. A Place to Simply Be.
Flying First Class Equestrian Center, located at 91 Fox Road, Upper Deerfield, NJ, is proud to offer a new Relaxation with Animals Program specifically for first responders, police officers, firefighters, veterans, and their families.
We understand the pressures that come with serving and protecting our communities and our country. This program provides a peaceful opportunity to step away from the demands of everyday life and spend time in a tranquil farm environment surrounded by animals.
Free of Charge
The program is offered completely free of charge and can be experienced one-on-one or in small groups.
You choose what works best for you.
Some participants may enjoy the camaraderie and support of a small group. Others may prefer a quiet, private experience with the animals. We are happy to accommodate either.
Our Goal:
Give you a place to relax, decompress, connect, and enjoy some time away from the daily pressures of your profession.
What You can expect
PEACE • RELAXATION • MINDFULNESS • CONNECTION • COMMUNITY • COMPANIONSHIP
Animals have an incredible ability to draw us into the present moment. Caring for an animal, spending time outdoors, or simply sitting quietly and watching the Koi can provide an opportunity to step away from the noise and demands of everyday life.
Over time, participants may develop meaningful relationships with the animals and with others who understand the unique experiences and pressures that come with serving our communities and country.
BUILDING A COMMUNITY OF SUPPORT
This program is also about people connecting with people.
Meet others who understand the responsibilities, challenges, and demands of being a first responder, law enforcement officer, firefighter, veteran, or family member.
Our hope is that the friendships, relationships, and connections developed through this program will continue beyond the farm.
Proven results that speak for themselves.
