Healing Winds
http://www.healingwinds.org/
Healing Winds is a therapeutic riding program designed to help handicapped and developmental delayed children and young adults. It is a none-profit organization. I donate my time and massage service to help the horses stay comfortable. Healing Winds is in constant need of donations. The biggest project it faces is installing a handicap accessible restroom in the stable. This requires money and your donations will help. Your donations also goes toward caring for the horses, maintaining the stable, and running the program. I can tell you personally that the instructors and volunteers are kind hearted, hard workers, and offering up time to benefit those who need horse therapy.

Dr. Hayes has done a lot of research into keeping horses healthy even if they live in stalls or stables. I strongly suggest reading through her text and talking to her. Some health problems are related to flooring, air flow, size of the stall etc. Make your horse happier by reading her text and talking to Dr. Karren Hayes.

I encourage people to read his stories to get an insight of animals. He has many stories on horses. Though Martin's stories are fiction he exposes you to thinking from the horse's point of view.
