I was looking up Miracles through horses this evening and I cam arcoss Cliff's story, (the video in the link) and I found it really touching, so I thought I'd share this link and this video with ya'll:

Riding horses specifically for therapeutic purposes has helped kids with diverse disabilities, including Down syndrome, Autism, Eating Disorders and Substance Abuse, according to the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA), a non-profit organization that promotes the use of horses to benefit people with physical, emotional and learning disabilities.
Sometime in the close future I hope to be opening my own horse therapeutic center, to help not only kids but adults, like Cliff, as well.
Here are a few other videos and stories: (Warning! These stories may make you cry!)
Thanks for looking and sharing these little miracles!

CowGirls-The Past & The Future
Howdy Ya'll!
I'm Katelyn and I'm a CowGirl, always been one at heart but soon I'm gonna buy my first horse and live the life of a true blue, country CowGirl.
Now let me ask you, "What do you first think when you hear the word 'CowGirl'?"
When I was a Kid I used to think of hats, boots, saddles and six shooters. Now I think of wide open spaces for horses to graze and for me to explore, I think of riding horseback and rodeos.
But what did CowGirl mean to the world when girls and women started to ride with the boys and men? When was the word used and invented? Who were the first CowGirls?
These are things I've been asking myself as of late. And I'd like to invite you all to join me in a search for the answers. If you know any of the answers to these questions or if you have any questions you'd like to add please just leave me a comment!
Through a series of posts I'll be answering these questions and any you might have. But until I find the answers you'll just have to wait!
I look forward to learning and sharing what I've learn with everybody!
