Thank you Julia Agahee of Julia Agahee, M.S. for donating over $700 in mental performance training sessions to our 2026 PVPHA Poker Ride! What an incredible prize to win for one of our lucky participants!!

Riders who work with Mind Align learn about how the horse and human brains operate, develop self-awareness, foster a growth mindset, and become both more intentional and helpful with their own thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Who wouldn’t benefit from that? Thank you Julia, you are another true local treasure!💛
