BENEFIT TO AID RESCUE HORSES

It's completely amazing to me that a human being can treat an animal badly! There's no reason why a human hurts another human ... maybe we can look deeper and see the psychology behind why we do that ... but an innocent animal? A being that lives only to please us?

THANK GOODNESS for those who spend their lives rescuing the innocent from atrocious neglect and abuse. People like those at RAINBOW MEADOWS EQUINE RESCUE & RETIREMENT. A wonderful place that finds and saves damaged horses and gives them another chance. A chance to find out that all humans are NOT cruel and hateful ... but there are some of us who are kind and will love our Equine companions forever.

If you agree with these sentiments, please support the annual Benefit Gala that will allow the people at Rainbow Meadows to continue their work. The Gala will be held in Wichita, Kansas on February 27th. For more details, please go to their website at ww.rainbowmeadowsranch.com/Rescue.htm.

Take a moment to read the success stories of those special horses who are now happy and healthy ... thanks to human kindness.

I'll be there and am donating a beautiful cowhide table runner. Come and bid. View the runner at www.anolepillowcovers.com and click on Table Runners. All proceeds go to support the work at Rainbow Meadows.

THANK YOU & GOD BLESS.

THE HORSE BOY

Some of you may have already heard of or even read the book "The Horse Boy". This true story is about a father whose son is diagnosed with autism. The family takes a remarkable journey throughout the untamed landscape of Outer Mongolia, and with the help of the Shamans and horses a healing process begins and changes their lives forever.

The Tallgrass Film Festival has a showing of the movie scheduled for Thursday evening March 18, 2010 at the Flint Hills Therapeutic Riding Center in Wichita, Kansas. There will be a wine and cheese reception beginning at 6:00 pm and the movie will follow at 7:00 pm. Tickets are only $12.00 at the door. All proceeds go to the Film Festival and the Therapy School to continue the great work they do in the community. Flint Hills is located at the Murfin Stable just east of 143rd Street East and 13th Street North.

If you are planning to attend, please contact Flint Hills at 316-733-8943. You'll be so glad you did!

Starting My Blog

Well, I'm finally in the 21st century!!! I'm trying to run an online blog! So, this might take a little time to become 'easy', but I'm up for it! My hope is that my blog will bring awareness to the amazing physical and psychological healing that's attainable through Equine Therapy.

Wow, to see those young ones laugh and play while they are riding a horse. Or, the adults who are struggling with mental or emotional disabilities, walk around and touch those gentle giants and feel a connection.

My heart fell in love the first time I volunteered at a therapeutic riding center and prompted me to write a children's book about a very special horse ... you guessed it ... George The Therapy Horse!

More to come ....
