Proposal: 20 percent time

Horses and Children

Needs and Opportunities

The barn that I go to takes underprivliged children and autuistic children and lets them ride horses for fun. We have an event for almost every holiday.  

Audience / Clients / Users

Story book farms will benefit from this project. The people who want to learn horse care will benefit. And children that get the wonderful opportunities to be on horses will also benefit. I go out to the barn 2 or 3 times a week and will be able to interview them then or on the “fieldtrips.”

Mentors

My riding instructor and owner of Storybook Farms Mrs.Dena Little.
