Hello, and a big shout-out to all our Donors:
I wish you could have been at the annual Horse Show to see the culmination of a year of hard work. Our youngest student (having begun at the age of 18 months) made incredible progress and now guides his horse around the obstacles in the arena.
Another who had been riding with us for 7 years, graduated to riding at an advanced level barn with a well known instructor. She is working on Olympic medals for her future.
Children come through the program gaining confidence, strength, and maturity, and along with all of us, grow older. What a priveledge it is to see the changes, and the wonderful balance horses bring to all our lives.
This past year we've served over 50 riders with 70% receiving scholarships because of your generousity.
You made it HAPPEN!
Our vocational education program is gearing up for the beginning of a new school year. Students at risk who live on the spectrum, will be returning to hone their working skills....fence repair, stable management, and field and forest development all take a turn in the curriculum of teaching how to care for our herd through the four seasons of the year.
With your continued support we can continue to offer quality programs to our clients on the spectrum, and a comfortable and safe home for our therapy herd.
Thank You!
