Closing of the ATEC Program

"It’s been a difficult decision and my heart is heavy. Feeling happy sad as I say goodbye to my beloved Nutmeg. It’s been hard keeping my ATEC program going on my own. Nutmeg is too special to be a pasture pet. She will be joining Honey’s mini therapy adventures in Florida and spreading joy throughout the Orlando area. I know she will be loved and well cared for by Mary Rose and her volunteers. It will be fun to watch her journey! She will be missed and there will be tears. Love my little horse"
