our visit to "MANE"

We are glad fall is approaching!! Thank you Jesus for the rain!!

Today, a few board members & I went to "MANE" Montgomery Area Nontraditional Equestrians. Thanks to Anne Alan Jemison for letting us "pick her brain". We enjoyed watching lessons, talking to her about NARHA workshop & certification, meeting the horses & seeing the sensory course. They will offer a NARHA workshop & certification in the spring. Another board member & I are planning to attend the certification.

Thank you MANE!
