IS IT SPRING YET?

Well, the Rainbow Meadows Annual Fundraiser was a great success. You know that the money raised will go directly to saving even more horses who have been neglected. Don't forget to follow their website to see if there is a horse you would like to give a 'forever home' to.

Well ... IS IT SPRING YET? It's starting to warm up and today (in Kansas) we have a really nice rain. Coming down in buckets and our dry ground is just soaking it up ... makes me want to go get a drink myself!!!



We are always so glad at the Therapeutic Riding Center when the weather starts to level out and we know we will be able to work with our clients on a regular basis. When it's so cold the lessons are cancelled I have to wonder who misses who most ....? Do the horses miss the interaction? Do we miss our wonderful clients? Do the clients miss us? I'm guessing it's a combination of all. The work we do with our clients is SO important!!!



If you are not currently involved with a local organization that offers therapeutic riding and/or equine therapy (like http://www.eagala.org/) ... please do some research and find out if there is a place near you where you can volunteer. It's the most rewarding use of time you'll ever make. Our client's age range is from small child to adult ... but I have to tell you, when you help a young child onto that horse and even if they cannot speak, their face lights up and they squeal with delight ... your heart just fills with complete joy!!!



If you are not a horse person ... don't let that stop you! We have so many opportunities in our communities to give. And there's no explanation for it but when you give ... you get back so much more!!!



Have a Blessed week.
