Arabian Nights

Arabian Nights

Our special event in October of 2002 was to host our own version of Arabian Nights.
Pam Duda, Regional Coordinator for 14 surrounding counties, for the visually impaired,
contacted us an asked if there was something we could do for the children & parents involving horses.
She does outings during the year to help the children & parents learn there is lots to do, an be involved in, even with physical challenges.
Well that was all it took for our minds to take off with ideas.

Labor of Love

This was the start of the day with an introduction to Horses
I gave a talk on how horses can be a part of our lives.

I love to talk about horses and it gave me a new understanding when explaining to the group,
when most of the children were totally blind or very impaired.

Cephus an I went up to all the children and adults,
I think Cephus ate a ton of carrots and apples!!!!!

The gang.....we divided them into 3 groups for activities
