The Problem

I have volunteered to lead horses during hippotherapy sessions at McKenna Farms in Dallas, GA for many months now. I has been a real joy to get to know the patients, mostly children, and to watch them improve through their disabilities. It has so given me great experience in dealing with horses- experience I'll need if I'm going to achieve my dream of becoming a veterinarian. I love it. I get to get the horses out of the field, groom them, tack them up, and lead them around the arena during sessions.
