"Horses change lives. They give our young people confidence and self-esteem. They provide peace and tranquility to troubled souls--they give us hope!"
-- Toni Robinson
We are going to aim at children that are not able to afford the prices of a regular horse camp. Including but not limited to middle incomeand below middle income families. In these difficult times, many children would love to be in the company of horses but their parent's cannot include that into the daily budget because of the hike in our everyday costs of living. The camp will be held at the main barn in Barre, MA.
We hope to have parents and teachers recommend children that would greatly benefit from this program and have shown a love for horses but cannot afford to have their own horse or attend regular horse camp.
Our program will have within its structure a purpose of building awareness of the horse's needs and the child's sense of accomplishment.
We are seeking donations specifically aimed at the overall cost for ten children to participate in our 3-day program with the Rescue horses.(Donations would cover the costs of lunches, transportation to and from the barn, etc.)
We are all looking forward to the Rescue's new endeavor. Horses and kids what a wonderful combination...and they both get a chance at some well deserved fun!
