Vannan's Volunteering Place - Has a Big Show Every Year



Every Tuesday (almost)

for the past year,
Vannan has done volunteer work
at a local hippotherapy business.
She loves the horse,
and she loves the kids.
Once a year,
they do a big show / fund raiser
for the parents and community.
It was a fairly hot day,
and we didn't stay for the whole thing.
The kids were hot and tired,
and I had sprained my ankle (again).

They were handing out free icee's,
and this was Rue's very first ever.
She LOVED it!

This is the "indoor" arena where the kids work.
As you can see - it is open on 2 sides.

Vannan and "her horse"
at least
for that day.
She was in charge of getting the horse ready,
parking the horse,
and keeping him comfy.
And she had to saddle and unsaddle him several times.
BIG
isn't he?

Where the prep action takes place.
Lots of busy kids back here.
And grown ups too.

This is one of Vannan's favorite jobs.
Side walking.
And that is her horse.
She was so proud of being chosen
to be in charge of a horse for the day.

Rue wanted Daddy to pick her up.
But he was hot and tired.
So she climbed up to Daddy.

And he held her up.
Isn't that just the sweetest picture?

So proud of getting to show off
everything she does each week.
