Thanks everyone!

Bckrazy, I volunteered at a place in Syracuse that tended to be more hard labor than any actual hands-on working with the kids but I didn't mind. I love to be around horses and since I'm not in a position in my life right now where I can afford one or even lessons , I enjoy having the opportunity to spend time with them any way I can. Just being around horses makes me feel good, healthy and happy!

Sandra, I live in Clifton New Jersey which is in northern New Jersey about 15 minutes from NYC. I work in Hackensack. It's very crowded here, not at all what I'm used to... I'm slowly discovering some of the nicer areas around but I still desperately miss home and my family , especially my nieces!
In an ideal world Sandra, I would love to go back to school for physical therapy and work with children. Two of my own nieces have developmental problems and it breaks my heart that from lack of knowledge and education, I am unable to help them to the fullest degree. But like I said, $$$ is holding me back right now. Hopefully I can find some schools nearby here and start taking classes in the evening. I have looked into becoming a certified NARHA instructor. Once I get to know the people at Pony Power a little better, I will talk to them about the program. It's right up my alley, helping children and being with animals! What could be better!?

I'll take some more pics next time I go. The program is suspended this weekend for the holiday so I plan on going back next Saturday.
