A huge shout out to Madelyn Simpelaar at Simply Equine, LLC! 🐴 A couple times a month, a group of hardworking individuals are able to assist Madelyn with tending to a stable of beautiful horses. This has given this group the opportunity to learn valuable skills and has offered a number of health benefits as well.
