Volunteering at Freedom Farms

Love this place. Found them when I was writing an article about horsemanship and how I am going to go every week, helping out. Today I was given a project horse called R&R to take care of and ride. Exciting!

Mary, who runs the place, is amazing. Really, truly inspiring. Today I watched one of the women ride her horse without anything - no saddle, no reigns, nothing, and it was just beautiful. The horse walked up to a barrel, stopped, backed up, walked up to it again, stopped - and then jumped over it, from standing still. Amazing!
