DENTAL DAY! Thank you Dr Febles for keeping everyone’s mouth in great shape!😁

"Wondering if you should get her that pony, wonder no more!

Riding families have always known horses are good for kids, but now research is proving it. One study, sponsored by the American Youth Horse Council, found that equestrian activities do indeed enhance a range of life skills in children.

The study looked at youngsters involved in 4-H, Pony Club, the American Quarter Horse Youth Association, or the National High School Rodeo Association in one eastern and one western state. Results of the study, published in February 2006, found a significant positive relationship between horsemanship skills and life skills.

If your child likes animals and you’re concerned about that child’s problem solving, goal-setting, or decision-making skills, then definitely get him or her involved with horses."

Do you see what I see?

Excited for summer at Norman Farms! Even Miss Brynn is back for horsemanship lessons!

Exciting news from the Norman Farms family. Many of you know that our family is adopting 2 sisters from Colombia. Many of you have also asked how to help. As we get closer to travel (hopefully towards the end of the summer), we would love your prayers and financial support. Pray specifically for: bonding and attachment, language learning, and travel logistics. We’ve been blessed with a match grant from Lifesong where they match the amount we raise. We are so excited that our farm family is able to walk alongside our family in this endeavor!
