The Countdown is over...

Tommy Garland is here. Tommy and Dawn are
coming to Freedom Farm today to present a clinic
on "CPR" Horsemanship (Confidence, Patience and
Respect) to the Youth Group formed
in November that is affiliated with the North Eastern
Ohio Arabian Horse Association.

He will be judging the Medina Board of Realtors Horse Show at the Fairgrounds in Medina on Saturday and Sunday, and he graciously accepted the invitation to come a day early and put on a half day clinic for the kids.

Proceeds from the clinic will benefit the newly formed group and the Right Lead, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit from Medina County. The Right Lead is a horse rescue program that works also with at risk youth from the Phoenix School in Akron. "Kids Helping Horses Help Kids"!

He is a "celebrity" horse trainer/clinician and has a program on RFD TV. He and his wife Dawn are super, super people who give support to causes that help horses and kids.

We are so excited to have him with us, and I get to pick them up at their hotel, pack them around, show them Freedom Farm in Ravenna, and also Freedom Health in Aurora, makers of the digestive conditioning aid "Succeed", then back to the farm for the clinic. Lots of volunteers are helping put this event together.

Day zero is here....welcome Tommy and Dawn.

Welcome indeed -- the rescue is a ministry unto itself. God bless you for all you do for God's creatures, 2 and 4-hoofed.
