The Miracle Horses










HELPING CHANGE LIVES WITH HORSE THERAPY

Connections Equine Therapy Program (a not for profit corporation) in Cornville, Arizona, desperately needs financial aid to keep the program alive for challenged boys, girls, men and women. My wife and I have been volunteers at Connections for seven years and have seen firsthand the miracles that horse therapy provides to our human community.

If you could only see the light of hope shining from the eyes of adults who have not only never ridden a horse, but are so physically challenged that they never in their wildest dreams thought it possible in the first place!

If you could only see the light of hope shining from the eyes of children who, for the first time, groom a therapy horse from a wheelchair and find a lifelong friend!

If you could only see the light of hope shining from the eyes of young and old, dealing with addictions, learning how to handle and care for a therapy horse and, in the process, learning about themselves!

If you could only see the sadness and pain in the eyes of the dedicated founders, board members, and volunteers who have spent years watching these miracles and who now understand, without immediate financial help, this program will be lost to all of its clients!

The eyes are a window to the soul, and the soul of Connections Equine Therapy Program is crying. Please Google Connections Equine Therapy Program and see firsthand the goodness this program represents. In a world with so much negativity, especially right now, how can we watch such a wonderful and positive program that helps so many cease to exist?

Please help us help others who cannot help themselves. Our dream is to be able to say, "The program lives!"
