As hard as it is for us to acccept, next week will be the final lesson of our first Heroes and Horsemanship Program. Having started in January, riders in this program spent the past seven weeks learning horsemanship at our Woodside facility. We speak for all involved in saying we never realized just how quickly we’d all form new bonds. From the men and women who quickly came to love their horses, to the sidewalkers and leaders who became invested in their veteran’s progress, we grew more attached to the weekly lessons than any of us could have imagined.
Though next week will be bittersweet, we can spend this week just soaking up the good. The plum trees are blooming, the horses’ sleek summer coats are coming in, and life’s never looked so good from the back of a horse.
