WHO WE ARE
Who We Are
We are family. Our rescue horses have been helping people since 2009, lifting the self esteem of those who choose to be involved with us. In 2013, we started a horse club for local children, who are as passionate about horses as we are.
We study about our horse friends, using the Junior Master Horseman Books that are put out by the American Quarter Horse Association. Our club meets every other Thursday evening from 6-8 PM, as well as gathering for a hands on clinic, during one Saturday each month, weather permitting. We are a unique club, where there is no need for members to own or lease a horse, in order to benefit from this program.
Each member is expected to follow our club rules, which consist of basic safety, and respect for all those present. We have a point system in place to encourage club participation. Every point earned becomes Dusty Bucks. During our end of the year club auction/celebration, these bucks are used for bidding on various horse related items. The more bucks one has, the higher they may bid on an item. This past year's auction was exciting, to say the least.
Points are acquired by club attendance, wearing club shirts, collecting cans, providing a horse related presentation to the club, passing chapter tests in our book, reading and providing a summary on a horse book, and attending club functions, such as outings and special events.
This club is run by adolescent officers, and guided by adult volunteers. These officers have grown in wisdom as well as character, along with enhancing leadership skills. All these positive traits will be useful for the rest of their lives, therefore helping them to grow in a positive direction. Horses have a unique way of teaching us all positive life lessons, which have the tendency of flowing over into all aspects of our lives.
