The
Ranger Foundation of
Greenbriar Farm in Keedysville, Maryland, hosted a Boys
and Girls Club day at the farm on Wednesday, July 13, 2005. The
kids arrived that morning aboard a Washington
County Boys and Girls Club bus.
Upon arrival, they were given a hay ride tour of the
farm.
The
next couple of hours was spent at “Horse School” where the
boys and girls learned all about horses and their care.
One of the retired horses, Ebby, was very willing to
help with the grooming lesson.
He also very patiently allowed the children to stick
labels of the different parts of a horse to the appropriate
place on him.
Lunch
was a cookout under the trees in the picnic area.
The food was donated by Wal-Mart, Martin’s Potato
Chips, and the Ranger Foundation volunteers.
The
day ended with games and prizes.
Everyone went home with a colorful horse show ribbon
for their success in Horse School.
As the group boarded the bus for home, plans were
already in motion for the next such event.
