Raven’s Guardians BBQ Launch Party with The Horse Boy Foundation
New Trails hosted the launch party for Raven’s Guardians 501c3 nonprofit on Saturday May 19th, 2018. Fantastic individuals from all walks of life were in attendance. We had veterans with PTSD, Autistic adults, neuro typical teens and autistic teens, educators, horse trainers, nonprofit owners, actors, makeup artists, jousters, and social workers.
While enjoying a lovely rhythmic walk on the sandy dusty trails leading into the impressive freedom inspiring Rockies, my lady and I could see something shimmering, out of the ordinary, gentle earth tones interrupted.
Remember the veteran couple I talked to you about last blog Veteran meets Veteran? Well, you will not believe my news. It was mind boggling, and I have been exposed and involved in many miracles, this topped everything!
The heat in Texas was surely picking up- not my cup of tea; my skin became itchy and the flies, the flies, the agony...why was I here? As much as I loved my family and Rupert (surely my favorite guy in the world)- but there had to be more to life
I first heard about Joell Dunlap at New Trails in Elgin Texas during a ‘Train the Trainer’ Workshop, and everybody I met had something incredible to say about her.
For years, the Remount Foundation has supported the Wounded Warrior Wellness Program at the United States Air Force Academy with great success. Many veterans use the program to support their traditional mental health care and enjoy the very different focus and approach the equine assisted learning offers.
Last week saw the passing of possibly the best natured equine that any of us here at New Trails have ever known.
Reno came to his final home about 8 years ago.
A horse that was retired early because of his crazy sway back. Without a doubt we were the best final years he could have wished for.
