Welcome to my Tuesday mornings...
When my best friend became the volunteer coordinator, I became her first recruit and there was no arm twisting involved. Once a week I spend an hour or two loving, feeding and mucking stalls of my four legged friends through a volunteer program for LEAP's barn care. While a little daunting at first because the learning curve is steep, it quickly became a highlight of my week.
“LEAP is the South Carolina Lowcountry’s source for equine-assisted psychotherapy (EAP). EAP is an experience-based therapy that helps people find success in their daily lives.”
For me, between the horses and being immersed in nature are good soul food. Each horse has a unique personality and quirks to match. The setting just happens to be photographically awesome. A red barn, majestic horses, a long dirt road, occasionally U-picks, sunflower fields and a deep quiet.
The four legged friends below:
Peaches - wavy beach mane, lowcountry mare born on the property, strong personality
Cruise - chestnut gelding with three white socks is Mr Social with all horses and humans
Harmony - the painted mare with dark points. The gentle heard leader and gracious girl.
Bigsby - the little cutie patootie that is a stranger to no one.
