How do you get to volunteer to help with thing’s like this!
Suggestion: Contact the VA and see if ya’ll can get something going for Equine Therapy for Vets with PTSD (or ptsA, new vernacular ). I’ve asked a few folks and they were clueless. Has been implemented in other areas with crazy positive results. (Doesn’t have to be just for Vets, or PTSD. Some Federal funds to help you out, those with certain applicable problems, and the horses. Win-win-win!!!) Hell, I’ll be your test subject..call me, I’m serious.
I would be the one in jail if he spit on me.
This is awesome news. Congratulations. I also want to thank all of you that have worked so hard for so long to rescue and care for so many animals.
I have 2 horses. $20,000 ain’t nothing.
Congratulations to Dianne, Ricky and all of the volunteers on their support team. This is a statement as to the reliability and competency that they have continually displayed in their many years of unpaid services. Job well done.
