Well, its official! Scottie will be staying at ATRC to work as an equine therapist for as long as he is willing and able! His story went live last Friday and it brought tears to my eyes. Therapy work is such a good fit for this phenomenal horse and now his story can be shared with others. The people out at ATRC are great! They take awesome care of the horses and truly care about what they do.

Please visit the American Therapeutic Riding Center's website to read Scottie's story, meet the other equine therapists, learn about the facility, and possibly even make a donation to this great organization.
Just because things dont necessarily go as planned, does not mean that things are over. There is always another option, another road, another chance. We were fortunate enough that ATRC was willing to give Scottie a second chance and allow him to take up another career so that he could continue to be happy and serve a purpose. He may not ever set foot on another cross country course but the work that he is doing now makes the countless hours of rehab, scoops of grain, flakes of hay, and vet visits worth it. Keep kicking!
