TUIT REPORT
None this week. Surely we haven’t seen the
last of that most sacred of all AMBUCS relics.
PROGRAM:
Brenda Janda introduced Stephanie Guthrie, a fellow AMBUC, as our program.
Stephanie and her husband operate Sundance Farm, which provides equestrian activities for the “differently-abled. The farm includes 50 head of mini and draft horses. Standing 30 inches tall, minis are house broken and wear sneakers while indoors.
Minis are used as companions and as teams for pulling carriages equipped with lifts. For those with special needs, the minis allow recreation for individuals who are unable to ride a horse. The minis also provide social interaction because of their gentle nature and being eye level with persons in wheelchairs. In addition to meeting the needs of the differently-abled, the horses and carriages are available for weddings, parades and for promotion of special events.
Stephanie invites everyone to visit the operation, located 5 miles north of 30th Street, at 264 Apache Road, Inman, Kansas. Further information may be obtained at their website, www.sundancefarm.org. If you are interested in assisting with these activities, please contact Stephanie.
