A friend of mine is a retired marine and works in equine therapy in texas with disabled vets. It is very rewarding for the volunteers as well as the patients.
I donated my Icelandic horse, Little Red to the therapeutic riding center in san Juan Capistrano California. I am so proud of my little horse and the help he gives so many people.
I have worked with kids, particularly autistic kids, with a therapy riding program. One near us uses donkeys & mules. I know that horses are good for MY soul! Deb E

Donating your horse must have been so hard for you to do, Terry, but I'll bet anyone who rides him thanks you (or would if they knew).
ReplyDeleteWhy is it called "burial horses", do you know?
ReplyDeleteBecause these horses pull the caisons that carry the coffins of soldiers and veterans buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
