We are a new horse sancuary, youth ranch in Mt. We reach out to horses that have been abused or abandoned and children that are high risk or handicaped. We bring in the horses and have the children help rehabilitate them. We also teach horsemanship and standard farm/ranch/equine care. We are seeking grants to expand our program here. Where could we go to find grants that would possable support such a program.
The horse I am seeking a home for has had 15 years of working with Developmentally disabled children or young adults. She is now too old to ride, and would only be a pet at any facility. But she could be used to teach children to learn how to groom, or just handle a horse. She has a realy nice disposition, and seems to be in fairly good health, although her teeth are very worn. She does not have a lot longer to live, but I don't feel that to put her down is fair, after the joy she has given to so many handicaped children.
