tough enough
Desensitizing horses!
This is a short video to show you what our horses/ponies had to be in for a good cause. This was about 20 minutes before a crowd of over 400 people showed up, the afternoon time had over 800 people. Then a train started going all around, the mechanical bull started spinning, the speakers on the stage right next to us started blaring loud music, and all the horses were perfect!!!!! All the kids and adults had great rides, and no mishaps.
2 Wks ago we had the oppurtunity to do some community service for a really good cause. Lighthouse Ministries lighthousemin.org/ was doing a fundraiser for their organization. This fundraiser was held at our Lakeland Center, a very large venue that holds large crowds, rodeos, high school graduations, etc. Here they had 4-5 large bouncy houses for the kids, a mechanical bull, a train that drove everywere, several other small games scattered around, and pony rides (which is where we come in). We walked kids, and adults on the horses and ponies for 2 hours in the morning then 2 hours in the afternoon. Dr Lew Sterrett was the show that sold the tickets. sermononthemount.org/ I had never heard him speak or train a horse, but it he was wonderful to watch and listen to. Mackenzie, Bailey, and 2 other girls their age were with us also doing their community service by helping with whatever needed to be done. It was a long day, but worth it.
