Homecoming for a Hero
I would like to get involved in allowing wounded soldiers the opportunity to come to my small horse farm, sw of nashville. I am happy to let you ride one of my horses. I am only about an hour from nashville. I do not have a big place, and only have three horses. I can teach you the basics, but am not an official trainer.
ReplyDeleteI am happy to share what I have with the many men and women sacrificing their lives to serve all of us. Thank you.
