High Hopes Volunteer Enrichment Day 
February 16, 2015

Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers that help make the magic at High Hopes Therapeutic Riding happen ! It was a very cold day Feb. 16th 2015 , but they came out for Volunteer Enrichment day none the less! I had a blast sharing my Equi Yoga™  with them ~ we tried to fog up the indoor mirrors with our breath , but to no avail in 17 degree weather. However, we had fun and laughs, even Hummer the wonder horse was doing Lions Breath! Massive thanks to Megan Ellis for lunging and Lisa Reneson for being the Equi Yogini!

Top Cat Farm is proud to sponsor "Fanny" at High Hopes Therapeutic Riding Center in Old Lyme, CT
 
Fanny is a 16.1 hand Paint/Percheron cross mare who was born and raised in Massachusetts. Most recently, Fanny was owned by Connecticut family who rode her on long trail rides with their grandchildren. A pretty mare with a genuinely friendly disposition, Fanny’s laid back attitude and comfortable gaits make her a popular choice with riders and instructors alike.
