They brought Lord Duncan and Braveheart as
prime examples of the Gypsy horses to be used for therapeutic riding
programs.
The Kids absolutely enjoyed the horses
and had loads of question. We even learned something from one of the
kids. The Horses really Loved these little yellow flowers that looked
like low covering weeds, as one of the kids asked us why they liked them
so much, we had to say we really didn't know. One kid piped up and said
"I know," if you squeeze the flower it smells like pineapple. Maybe
that's why they like them so much." Sure enough we had to try and they
did smell just like pineapples. Amazing!!
We all had a couple of great days of
learning together and the kids were wonderful!! We look forward to many
more events such as this to raise awareness of those with special needs.
