Today we had residents from an assisted living home out to our farmette. This is the 2nd annual visit--and we plan to continue it for as long as possible. I was lucky to have my in-laws willing to come lend a hand. They helped with so much. This kind of event runs so much smoother when there are willing, capable hands.
I'll keep the commentary short since I think the photos speak for themselves. Thank you to Polly for being my photographer!
A bus load of 13 residents arrive-the bus was packed--there were more names on a waiting list. They find a seat under the shade of the pine trees--the horses are in front of them in the pasture. I introduce myself--and answer any questions.
Their view of the pasture.
I invite Kennedy, of course
and another student from last year's class to help. She came with a bonus--her mom and little sister. Her mom, Polly, took the photos. The kids help with baths, last minute grooming after mud rolls, and help me with the horse switching by working the gates. I don't allow kids to handle horses by residents... just needs to be me--better safe than sorry...
Order was Gypsy, Chloe, Jazz, Rosie, Whisper....
They asked the best questions!
This is Kandy--the director--showing them how Whisper loves to have her snip kissed.
This was a first horse kiss for some.
Kennedy--my right hand girl. I'm so lucky to call her a friend.
More to come....
