Dear Supporters,
In July of this year, Wild Horse Rescue Center’s literacy program, Wild Horse Tales, was handed over to our new director. This was very exciting for the future of Wild Horse Tales, as the program is currently being revamped.
Wild Horse Tales is a part of Wild Horse Rescue Center, and the program encourages children to read more and to learn about horses. The program provides a curriculum for first, fourth, and fifth grades and features four books by Walter Farley. The first grade books are Little Black, a Pony and Little Black Goes to the Circus. The fourth grade book is The Black Stallion, and the fifth grade book is The Black Stallion Returns. The students also get to meet the horse characters from the books, as Little Black, Big Red, and the Black Stallion all live at Wild Horse Rescue Center. A “Super Touch” event is offered, where we either bring the horses to a local barn or have the school to come out to our center. During this event, the children learn about what horses eat and how to care for them.
The Wild Horse Tales literacy program is currently being revamped by its new director, who is trying to find new channels and schools that are interested in this great program. If you want to learn more about the program, you can go to www.wildhorsetales.org.
In the month of October, Wild Horse Rescue Center has been attending Jack’s Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch in Clermont, FL, where they have been offering pony rides for the public. This has been a very successful event, and it has brought in funding that will be used for hay and feed for our horses. We have had riders of all ages riding our mustangs. Some adults have even ridden for the very first time.
Going forward, WHRC has more events planned to spread the word about mustangs, which will help us to raise funds for our center. We look forward to this time of year, since the weather will be somewhat cooler. We want to send a big thank you to all of our supporters who we meet at these events, and to everyone who supports us from far away.
With love,
WHRC Team
