A Real Win-Win!


Our talented hoof trimmer, Rachel Chao, is also a speech pathologist for Easter Seals. Rachel has coordinated a monthly visit to the ranch for the clients that she works with. Tuesday was the second visit from Easter Seals and Rachel was able to provide permission to post the photos from this as well as last month's visit (hooray! I've been dying to share!).

It is such a pleasure to get to know a bit about each individual and to see them interact with the animals, as well as to watch the animals enjoying the attention. The horses get heavy eyes and their lips twitch with appreciation when the groomer gets just the right spot.

What wonderful pictures! Animals are so good for us, don't you think? I can't imagine life without my sweet kitty, and look forward to the day when I can afford to have more animals around.

My mom continues loving taking care of your babies. She loves the calming influence of the horses and Spike. They are all so very sweet. Next time I have a Monday off to come with her, I will!
