The stables and arena...a work in progress! There are still lots of plans for some outside work and for more stalls to be put in along with a wash bay and several other items inside. However, they are open to the public for usage of the arena and to stall horses. Cindy, the stables manager, is also doing horse massages and lessons. It's becoming quite the facility!
This is where Nathan has spent a majority of his time! Kaleb and I enjoy coming out here too to play with the horses. Nathan and several others are actually turning the stables and arena into a non-profit organization focusing on children that fall under the Autism Spectrum. They will utilize the horse as a sensory tool to teach the children how to socialize and communicate. Their ultimate goal is to open a full time school here. They will have full time PT's, OT's, speech therapists, teachers, etc. In the mean time, there will be private lessons, research projects, summer camps, and a "private home school" for a limited number next fall. The full school is hoping to be funded by fall of 2009. The school will serve about 100-150 students.
Some of the Freesian horses....they are so awesome! (Ceasar and Milan)
