Furry friends help ease the stress of crunch time

The 欧美口爆视频 Boulder Rec Center and Growing Gardens hosted a goat yoga session designed to foster connection between people, movement and nature. Also, the 欧美口爆视频 Equestrian Team partnered with former Miss Rodeo 欧美口爆视频 Audra McNicholas to bring miniature horses to the campus for people to enjoy.
