The mission of First Sundays is to provide a safe space for women veterans to gather and talk honestly about our struggles and dreams in a supportive community of peers who understand the challenges of life after military service.
This is a time to be seen, heard, and respected.
(and enjoy some laughter too!)
Every gathering will include activities with the horses and a community circle for conversation and support.
You’re also welcome to just hang out and enjoy some quiet time at Wild Cove Farm.
Why Horses?
Horses are prey animals, reading people and situations is one of their survival skills.
Their behavior reflects what they see in us and this provides helpful insight into how we show up in the world.
And horses make us feel good because they lower our cortisol levels and regulate our heart rates!
Activities are facilitated by Equine-assisted Coach Erin Fristad
No prior horse experience is necessary. There’s no riding involved. We support participating in a way that you feel safe.
First Sundays are always free for women veterans, please REGISTER HERE so we can plan horse activities and buy enough snacks!

ABOUT ERIN FRISTAD
Erin is the founder of Wild Cove Farm. She was raised by an Army Vet, a feisty rodeo princess, and a half-Arabian mare named Kymba. Erin and Kymba spent her childhood running wild through the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. After a 28-year hiatus from horses, Erin returned to her life's purpose facilitating horse/human experiences that transform people's lives. She completed her first-level Eagala certification in 2016 and started working in Equine-Assisted Activities in 2017.

Natasha is an Air Force Veteran and 4th-generation artist. Her approach to facilitation is deeply informed by over 15 years of contemplative practice; more than a decade of teaching hundreds of youth and adult artists; and degrees in Psychology, Teaching, and Interdisciplinary Arts. She serves the veteran community and beyond as a Teaching Artist for Path With Art in Seattle. It only took one trail ride as a young person for Natasha to become hooked on horses, but it was many years before the opportunity to interact with them again arose. In 2015, she volunteered at Alatheia Riding Center. She later trained in horsemanship skills through the veterans program Hope for Heroes in Yelm, before meeting Erin of Wild Cove Farm and becoming dear friends, riding buddies, and collaborators.
