Meet Michael
|
We find the
role of our horses profoundly valuable |
|
and dedicate
our project to the theory that: |
| |
|
"Animals are
the most agreeable of friends, |
|
they ask no
questions, pass no
judgements." |
|
|
|
|
|
Michael's Place opens a new and exciting experience
for people that are developmental disabled, disadvantaged or with special needs including
chronically ill. |
| |
| We are dedicated to providing a
challenging work and recreational program to help
individuals grow in self-esteem, confidence, socialization,
acceptance, and become productive individuals recognized for their
accomplishments. |
| |
| Our participants have the opportunity to enjoy
both working and caring for Miniature horses, Shetland ponies and
rescue horses on a daily or weekly
basis. We help them build the skills to take care of and handle a horse
and to socialize by working in a group environment. |
| |
| There is something magic about the interaction of
"Special People with Special Horses". Not only does the
handler learn to care
for the horses but the horses learn to care for the special handler. |
