Testimonials
Hello,
I am just writting to you, to thank you for all that you have done helping horses and children. When I was 7 years old, I attended my first horse backing riding camp at your facility. It changed my life forever. I rode two horses while I was there, Ziggy and one other that I can not remember the name of. Ziggy was a wonderful horse, so gentle, I soon grew very fod of him. Once of the activities during that camp, was to wash the horse and decorate them with flowers. I remember me, and the other girl that was at the time riding him, filled his whole mane up with white and pink flowers. We then took pictures. The next activity we were able to paint horse shoes, with the picture that was taken that day. I still have that golden horse shoe hanging on my wall. Every time I look at it, it brings such fond memories back to me. I am now 17 years old, and graudating high school a year early. I have moved to New Braunfels, Texas with my mother. I still have a very longing to ride horses and take care of them etc. Dude to low costs in money, I have not ridden in 4 years. It brings me down to know that I am not able to do what I love so much. One day one I get out of college I hope to be able to reunite with horses once again. What you guys do is so amazing, for both horse and rider. Keep up the good work. You guys changed my life forever, put a happy face on a little girl, and made her understand how amazing the relationship between human and horse. Sincerly Maddison Aasen
