We are hoping to be able to work with our community to help with special
needs kids in high school and teach some of the children life skills.
What are life skills?
Life skills are teaching them
to take instruction and follow the instruction to complete a task. We
are working with the kids to teach them horse and animal care. Since
they are all fairly new to the farm, we are starting them with easy
tasks such as grooming a well trained horse and keeping the barn swept.
We will continue their skill levels as they continue to grow and learn
more. We are
currently working with our local Girl Scouts!
I have been amazed at the energy these kids
have. And thankful to them and their entire families! They
have been out several times and have worked on getting the trees down
from around a barn you couldn't even see! Thanks to their dads and
their chainsaws!! The kids also gathered trash and metal from over
at least a 5 acre area to make it safe for horses. We hope to have
that pasture area up and ready for horses in the spring!
