We had our 3rd annual Tomahaken Service Project today and it was awesome! My daddy raised me not to work on Sundays, but this wasn't work. This was fun!
17 members and 6 friends gathered to assist the STRAP ( Sydney's Therapeutic Riding Assistance Program ), which is a completely free, non-profit organization which provides a therapeutic horseback riding experience for people with various disabilities. Other horse-related activities are also available. This program is designed to improve posture, balance, mobility, and function. People with disabilities often face many difficulties while performing everyday tasks. However, research has shown that participants of therapeutic riding have not only shown physical improvements but also an increase in confidence, self-esteem, independence, and patience.
We did a little painting, cleaning, and general repairs on the farm. Afterwards, we were treated to some hot dogs, chili, and killer "Hogg-style" baked beans.
Everything out and clean it up.

Good fences make happy horses.
Paint it black boys.

A Brotherhood of Cheerful Service!
