Horses of Hope

It is now Thanksgiving and we are wrapping things up for 2011. 

We have had visits from local elementary students thanks to funding from the Cherokee County Health and Wllness Advisory Board and also from the Kansas Health Foundation.  This program includes disabilities awareness education and also healthy living choices.  A Big Thank You to the Riverton and Columbus Elementary staff for bringing your students to visit Horses of Hope!
