Additional Support Needs-Special Programs

Our rare  Miniature Horses have become part of our
therapeutic services  to children
who might for whatever reason not be ready or able to ride.
As part of our Spring & Summer 2009 programs
these sweet natured creatures will be available
to small groups for handling,
grooming & nurturing, you do not have to have
a condition to benefit from this experience
but the program is designed to
stimulate the sensory responses in
the children & can assist a number of conditions,
including autism, attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),
depression, anxiety  & conduct disorders

Hold on to your dream

There's a voice that calls to some of us
From somewhere deep inside
A voice that will not give us peace,
Until at least we've tried
To catch that bright elusive star,
Though foolish it may seem
To those not driven as we are
To hold on to the dream.

It's not just thoughts of fame or wealth
That keep us hanging on
When others would have given up,
When all but hope is gone.
When sometimes even hope grows dim
And casts it's faintest beam,
We wonder if it's worth it all
To hold on to the dream.

And then that voice inside of us
That others cannot know
Tells us that our chance will come,
And that we must not let go.
If we can only persevere
Some day our star will gleam!
And they'll know why we had to try
To hold on to our dream.
