Week 2: Strong Tower Ranch

This week I have been helping out at Strong Tower Ranch. It is a ranch ministry that does equine therapy as well as equine-assisted therapy for children. So far, I have shadowed the director, Lori Brooks, and have learned the hierarchy and setup of a non-profit organization. She has also demonstrated the “games” and ground work that is done with the horses that all of the children do before they get in the saddle. Today, I shadowed barn manager, Krystal, and helped with chores throughout the property. Horsemanship is just one category of the ranch since they also offer day camps in the summer. I have really enjoyed working here so far and am excited for the next week and a half!

  1. That’s so cool that you get to work with horses! I’ve always loved them even though I haven’t been on a ride in awhile! What’s been your favorite part of working at the ranch?
